I got this information from a friend, sounds like some good stuff will be on display. Hope to see you there.

There will be a lot of newly discovered guns there in the antique section. One in particular is the second signed J. Montague rifle found 116 years after the first one found by Mr. Henry Berry in 1905.That’s the same maker of the rifle that Madison Grant donated to Williamsburg. We now know who and where and why of this maker, quite a story. First time this rifle will be on public display at a show.

I plan to bring my  mountain rifles by Joseph McDowell Whitson,  James McKee,  & John R. Gillespie,  and four wood patchbox rifles from the Piedmont Schools, Early Deep River by David Grose, Jamestown by Thaddes Gardner, Salem possibly by Andreas Betz, and Mecklenburg possibly by
Isaac Price.

I look forward to seeing everyone.

Michael
