Trophy

[ApprenticeBuilder]

After way to much time I finished this trophy for a multi-club match that takes place at our spring shoot in May, everything is handmade except the longrifle.

Didn't know where else to put it.

The first pic is the preliminary layout.

That came out nice! Did you do the engraving yourself too? If so, you're very talented.

Thanks for the kind words, yup I cut out and engraved the silver disk as well as the gorget, made the shooting bag and powder horn. The gorget was engraved while flat, then the pieces were formed into a dome type shape and soldered together.
This will be my first experience with a "paper shoot".
This trophy is designed to create an annual competition between several clubs, there is another piece of wood that will attach along the bottom edge of the trophy that will hold a small brass plaque with the winning team info as well as the year they won.
I wanted this thing to be expandable, which is the reason for the above mentioned attachment. Just hope the event will be popular as I don't want to not see this trophy again.
