Just got the pictures to load. Sorry for the delay. I hope the wait was worth it.

I'll have this fowler, another one, and a few rifles and several powder horns on my table (#15) at the Kempton Gunmakers Fair later this week. Please stop by and say hello.

I can say without any hesitation that had I been a younger man and looking for a gun, that I would sell everything I could to buy this Fowler. It’s just remarkable.
