I'm not sure which ones were there, but Gary Brumfield (flintriflesmith) has photos of a number of guns from the Williamsburg shop from the 70s to 90s on his website.

I was not able to attend the CLA either but I understand that Richard Sullivan had his first totally handmade rifle on display. Richard has joined the fairly small group of Colonial Williamsburg gunsmiths who have actually made a complete rifle with 18th-century methods. He will be, or may have already been, moved up from apprentice to journeyman gunsmith.

I did get a chance to look at Richard's rifle and talk to him.  I can only imagine the work it took to turn this out.  It was a beauty.
