Very nice wook indeed, he is also a forum member.

 

[Russianblood]

Too bad he hasn't been on since July 6th.

He's probably been busy engraving and carving those two guns.

I wonder if anyone will ever shoot them? They are beautiful.

Well he can send them to me and I will make sure that they get properly used.

Vary nice work indeed. :hatsoff:

Functional art, the best kind. And by an obvious master artist. I love it-these a man dreams about.

Jerry will be at the Reno gunshow next month showing his work with a the worlds greatest builders/artists of both traditional and modern firearms. He is a national treasure!

 

Those are some of his plain jane pieces. :winking: You need to go to his site, and look at the rifle called Vigilant, it's the last one on his site. Now that's high art. Jerry has to be one of the top two or three artisans out there if not the top artist for this type of work.

And it sounds like he's having so much fun engraving he's thinking of not building any more - just doing engraving. Enjoy while you can.

"National Treasure" fits, I think. :thumbsup:

Look at the frizzen on the pistol its looks like its been shot a few times.

That to me make him a treasure. Beauty that works.
Every rifle I own will be shot no matter how purdy. :hmm:

 

[asabai]

They are truly amazing :bow: , but IMHO I must say they are a little too much for me. I would be proud to have any of those elements on one of my guns, but not all on one. Perhaps I was just not raised with too many jewels around.

Most likely marks were made to make sure that the lock fires properly.

 

[howdydoit]

sorry I just cant see having something as beautiful as a firearm (specialy a flinter) that is not use on the range or in the field.

the thing was made to shoot. sOOOO It should be shot. NO WALL OR SAFE QUEENS ALLOWED I SAY. :nono:

 

[Roy]

I agree.

 

[renovato]

Wow! Unbelievable craftsmanship. The wire work on that pistol is amazing. Jerry, step on out and take your well deserved bow!
