[rich pierce]

It was very impressive.

I was looking at that rifle and it really stood out.  And then I saw apprentice and I thought no way.  I'd love to see your Masters someday.

Very well done rendition of a Christian Oerter 1776 rifle! Outstanding silver wire work!
Please tell me you won a ribbon for it!

[Itchy finger]

Excellent work everyone, loved seeing and hearing about you and your rifles and accessories.
Thank You!

Hi,
Here are some photos of Maria's 1770s British officer's fusil.  It represents a high end gun for an officer with some wealth.  I am posting a few photos but Maria will post more in her own thread or in our thread "Shop is humming with British work".
She has it at the CLA show so if you are going you can see it in person.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but who made the beautiful black horn with a white stars motif that I saw in the judging area? It really stood out to me.

[Bob Roller]

That young lady has a talent.Had I made that gun it would be  called a fizzle instead  of a fusil .

I agree, Bob. Outstanding for sure.

[Bob Roller]

I agree, Bob. Outstanding for sure.

All that checkering with a dot in the center of every cut to me indicates the patience of a wooden Indian and the skill of a surgeon.
She will be at the CLA show and I am only 120 miles away but am very concerned about my wife and she is not doing well and she
forgets ti take her phone with her.She fell in the laundry room recently and couldn't get up and I couldn't get her up and I got two
men who were rebuilding a house across the street to help her up..
 I won't be at the CLA Show this time and if I am still alive I'll be 90 Enjoy the Autumn up there in that big and beautiful country.

Best wishes, Bob, to you and your wife.

Congratulations to all you ribbon winners! I think it is a great event.
I had been attending the fair for over twenty five years, and I seen a lot best of show rifles, and I have some pictures of the past winners on the best of shows that was received by their owners.
After reading through all the comments there's still a question that remains " Just exactly what is a Best of Show" ? After seeing best of show awards all the years that I had been attending there was always a Best of Show except in the last 2 events. Now I understand there were more guns entered, so more likely the higher chances of a Best of Show.
Like I said earlier in another conversation with a former judge, he said that didn't always happen, so it may have been times when I wasn't there.
Still waiting to hear when do they decide when to give a "Best of Show" or not?
I understand a Rich Hjusa award is something that he would have liked in his collection.
Is the "Best of Show" what the judges would like in their collection? Or is this some other type of criteria?
