Bonewitz,Reedy,Fichthorn Jr.
« on: May 12, 2016, 02:46:12 AM »
Great research on these master gunsmiths done by Henry Bishop ( HIB) in the new K.R.A. bulletin.
It shows the relationship between master  ( Bonewitz ) and apprentice  ( Reedy & Fichthorn ).The color pictures are great!
Henry,
Thanks for publishing that information . I'm sure it took years of research. You have a good eye for detail .Pointing out the Bonewitz characteristics , some very small, passed on to his apprentice's  gives the longrifle student help in his study. I will look foreword to the next two parts.

Henry's article is excellent from every perspective. He has a well-developed eye for signature characteristics and is the expert on this school. The photos and layout complement the text beautifully. Well done, Henry'.

Yes much appreciated. Enjoyed the read
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

I always enjoy Henry's articles and his ability to make a point using his skillful photography. He is an great mentor and has given me lots of tips in conducting historical research. A job well done, again. Keep the articles coming.
