    This is my display this weekend at the OAC big 2 day collector show. One isn't a single shot, but falls into my display title of 1800's rifles by custom gun makers.

    Excellent. If they have a "best in show" blue ribbon you should win it. Great photos.

    We don't do any judging, or awards. We've found that awards simply make some people unhappy should they not win something. So we simply thank everyone for whatever they display, and seems the folks doing displays like it that way. I know I like it better without awards.
