Dixon's 31st annual Gunmakers Fair
I had a great time last saturday at Dixon's 31st annual gunmakers' fair in Kempton, PA. I saw some beautiful flintlock guns and accouterments, I had a nice chat with Peter Alexander,the author of "The Gunsmith of Grenville County"...probably the best book ever on building flintlock rifles. I saw several old friends like Bruce Roberts, who is an outstanding multi-discipline craftsman and David Crispin, who is a professional flintlock rifle builder. I have camped with each of them. We made plans for some future 18th century camps.
I picked up a Lehigh County stock From Tiger Hunt, for my next project after the Bucks County rifle is finished. Got a great show price, and no shipping...too good to pass up. Here's a short video on the event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkaxIq-o2Xw |

Excellent !!!
That was absolutely, fantastic and really want to thank you for posting. My wife would understand why I'd spend a number of days at this Fair. I have already gleaned a number of ideas from these folks. These guys are the real thing. The horn work alone is worth the visit .....
Thanks and; Be Safe !!!
