Awesome folk art muzzleloading by descendant of gunsmith
« on: August 03, 2011, 08:10:48 PM »
Folk art piece by Wm H. Lincoln Shreckengost son of Lincoln G. Shreckengost
and grandson of Wm. Shreckengost.  Apparently the talent is genetic.
Sorry about the picture quality.

Depending on size, it sure reminds me of the ornamentation on some of the old shooting awards, plaques, etc.

A friend tells me that this is part of the face of a black forest german cuckoo clock and the rifle and horn were the part carved and added by the son of the gunsmith.
