A little Hagerstown school maybe. Steel wedges with silver heads. Silver rings on the pipes.

Really nice. Especially like the trigger guard and the side plate! Nice carving also.

Beautiful as always Bill. Just about the right amount of everything, carving, engraving and aging. Been wondering what you have been up to lately, now we know.

Hey Bill, like David, was wondering where you've been... Great looking rifle! Especially like the wrist carving and side plate. Unique rifle, beautifully done. Thanks for sharing!

He ain't getting any worse. Darn that Shipman!

Great rifle. Golden Age really is your wheelhouse, Bill.

Oh Wow Bill!!,
That is fabulous. You haven't posted work in a while and I really like to see it. To me it is the gold standard for American long rifles.

Wow, I just want to say...... I'm not worthy!!!
Guys like Bill, and Ed, and Mitch have really left the rest of us in the dust.
Beautiful work. Bills carving is always so crisp and clean.

Splendid rifle! As I admired Ed's recent work(s), I thought to myself, what's that Shipman fellow up to? Now I know.... the wait was worth it Bill. Love that mellow red/brown colour, exquisitely cut and designed carving, the whole enshelota.

It's a beauty Bill! Did you rust brown that barrel?
