Thank you - What kind of story are you looking for? Origins? How it was made? Why it was made? All or none of the above? Let me know, I'll be happy to fill in the blanks
Any backstory or technique would be grandly appreciated. Gorgeous work. WAY cooler than any tampion! Just caught this on the "2014 review" postings. Thanks Ian, and Art.
When Robert Weil started collecting images for the Contemporary Makers book in 1973 the challenge to record contemporary gun work was daunting. Gathering material was difficult and time consuming. Few makers thought that there was any value in published documentation of their work. Electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. In spite of all the potential to finally have a true overview of what's being produced by the artists of today, a great deal of work still remains covered up and basically unknown. Our role is to make an effort to document some portion of what’s going on today. To comment on the established makers and to uncover the unknown. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look to you our readers to make us aware of the talented makers out there. Art and Jan Riser Robert Weil and The Makers
Dang!

ReplyDeleteWas the plug bayonet actually used back in the day? Incredible craftsmanship on both the bayonet and rifle.
