Kennedy`s Auction Service is honored to sell the gun collection of Colonel Dexter Kimbrough of Greenwood, Mississippi and Pocahontas, Arkansas. Colonel Kimbrough has been collecting guns for over 50 years and has decided now is the time to sell his collection. Col. Kimbrough was first commissioned Second Lieutenant in Air Defense Artillery, Ft. Bliss, Texas. Shortly thereafter, he was sent to training at White Sands missile range in New Mexico where his unit developed an improved method for arming the Nike Hercules nuclear missile. Their method reduced the arming time from 4 hours to 2 and was used to train warhead units around the world. Dexter’s commissions took him all across the globe at the height of the Cold War. Col. Kimbrough’s next promotion would have been General were it not for a higher calling, to retire and be a father. Col.
