I have been studying 18th century arms for over 20 years. In that time, I have been fortunate enough study hundreds of antique arms in museums and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York, as well as the collections at Colonial Williamsburg. Through careful examination and meticulous study, I attempt to take note of the small details that go into original arms and strive to incorporate these aspects of authenticity into my own work. Whether you're looking for quality restoration work, or looking to add a one of a kind contemporary flintlock to your collection, I provide work with the highest standards of quality.
Stocks are shaped entirely by hand using primarily 18th century style tools, creating a piece that has a feel unlike anything made using modern techniques. Locks and furniture are heavily tuned and customized to look authentic. Using many of the same trade techniques as gunsmiths in the 18th century, I attempt to give my work the look and feel of a fine quality original flintlock.
Restoration services are available for collectors looking to have quality repair or conservation work done to their antique arms - Please contact me for more details and rates.
