Hawken-style by Tom Watson, Jr. Eustis, FL

[springfield art]

Just scored a beautiful Hawken-type .50 cal. rifle at auction; Made by a Tom Watson of Eustis, FL about 15 yrs. ago. Anyone know of his reputation or work? It's a beauty, and the consignor was there, so it was cool to know who had owned it originally. The business Watson had was Hunter's Trail Muzzleloading, just wondering about the history of the rifle. It's a real beaut! thx
