Zowie ... those that know me know that I just LOVE the artistry, craftsmanship and workmanship of the 'old school' arms. Thankfully there are many talented individuals out there making these, like:
  • Dennis Priddy, with the wheelie presented at the recent CLA event
  • Bolek Maciaszczyk from Poland
  • Rafal Ziółko, who also hails from Poland
  • Brian Anderson, from VT (who sadly recently retired ... )
  • Pukka (Richard) Bundook's Tusco-Emilian snaplock replica of that from the Michael 'Matchlock' Tromler collection
These were made years ago, before we had all these books (Lauber's book), plans (from Bolek) and internet/YouTube info available ... and I would almost argue that Rick's inlay work rivals that of ANYTHING I have ever seen, in or outside of a museum! WOW!
