Hi all, I wanted to share my rifle with the forum. I received it from my father in 1981 as a gift for accomplishing my Eagle Scout Award. He always referenced it as the title states. He and Ted were friends/acquaintances. When my father traveled for sales and was in Ted's area he would stop by Ted's house and go down into the basement to see Ted's work. They would then go out to dinner or lunch. My father bought a twin to mine for my brother, a flintlock .50 Kentucky, and a 54 for Elk hunting. Cheers to all you muzzle stuffers and have a great summer. - Jim
