George Seidenschwarz is still a well kept secret. This master gun smith who reposes in
Lafayette, Tenn has made some of our finest contemporary arms. I have seen roughly six rifles and two
pistols, each having all handmade locks and triggers and they are all
superb. His overall finish and attention
to detail is just amazing. Like most
European arms the metal and wood seem to melt into one another. The locks and triggers
too have a finish akin to satin. There is a particular beauty to his stock
architecture as well. Difficult to describe without actually having it in hand,
it has an oval shape, often higher than wide.
Very unique.
I believe there will be a few of George's guns on display in
this years show. Look for them.
