Gunmakers Hall Committee is again very proud to announce the following array of wonderfully crafted prizes made and donated by some of this country’s most talented craftsmen.

First Place winner will receive an expertly hand-crafted Golden Age American Flintlock longrifle by long time maker Homer Dangler, of Addison, Michigan. This rifle features raised carving on a highly figured curly maple stock, wooden patch box lid, and appropriate brass hardware with engraving. It is a reproduction of a J.P. Beck rifle of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

Second place winner will take home a handsome and unique hand stitched hunting pouch made of buffalo with a badger-pelt flap made by Rick Bruner of Jenison, Michigan. To complete this package is a generous F & I period-style, aged and scrimshawed powder horn created by Mark Odle from Reedy, West Virginia, mounted with a woven strap made by Curt & Paula Hoagland of The Sign of the Fish from Hillsboro, Indiana.

Third place winner will acquire an exceptional hand-forged 18th century-styled rifleman’s knife with antler handles constructed by Don Broughton from Floyds Knobs, Indiana, along with a hand-crafted and aged scabbard also made by Don.

There you have it; Gunmakers Hall Committee has again assembled a fine collection of prizes for your pleasure. We want to express our utmost appreciation to these contributors for their generosity, and to you for your continuing financial support for our educational programs and building fund.
