Tom Currie's Dixon Winning Lehigh

[M. E. Pering]

That is a beautiful example of a Lehigh.  Congrats on your win, Tom.  I can see why you won it.  It is especially impressive how you keep your carving at a nice, low level, even though it could be considered high relief.  Most importantly to me, it looks like a gun that could have been built in the 18th century.

Congratulations Tom. That's a wonderful rifle. Herman Rupp would be proud of it.

Tom,

You build a really super rifle-gun.  It is a master-work!

Congratulations!

Best Regards,

I like it Tom!  Though all your images are profile shots, you certainly have nailed that architecture.

I think you would have won in masters.

I think he probably would have beat me.

It's a beautiful gun.  Regarding the patchbox... how and where did you purchase it?  The domed lids commercially available have the knuckles of the hinge set away from center making it difficult to bend the patchbox to follow the curve of the stock.

Again, a beautiful gun!
