Committee of Safety builder
« on: April 04, 2019, 03:18:52 PM »
Last April, at the Fort Frederick, MD colonial craft show, I talked to a gun builder who makes American Revolutionary War committee of safety muskets.  I've lost his name and contact information.  Does anyone know him?
Thanks,
Rich

This sounds like an old friend, Robert Van Lear. I’m sorry I’ve lost his contact info. I think he still does Ft. Frederick. A fine gentleman. You may be able to get info from Ft.Frederick. Hope this helps.

Bob, I think Robert Van Lear is the man I'm looking for but Friends of Fort Frederick did not show a listing for him last year.  Maybe he is under a company name.  If you come across his info, please send me a private message.  Thanks guys.

I just found Robert Vanlier's business card I picked up at the Fort Frederick Fair last year.  His company is Albermarle Armsn Earlysville, VA.

Thanks for everyones help!
