The

Contemporary Longrifle Association's

Pioneer Award

2007

 

     Gents, I don't know how or what to say for this magnificent CLA award except, Wow! --- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!  Guess I musta done something right once upon a time, eh?  Now, I don't wanta sound like I'm braggin', but I just gotta share a couple of photos of this little jewel.  The base and lid appear to be of  cherry.  It's beautiful antiqued body is of turned horn and is so thin that light passes through.  The lid is capped with a large, engraved, and domed silver medallion.  I'm SORRY to say that I do not know which artisan made this magnificent piece, but when I find out, I'll let you know as his work needs to be recognized by our brotherhood.  Hope you like it almost as much I do.

Check out the link elsewhere in this pile of papers for the CLA and see what they've got to offer.  If you're a serious builder, why don't you belong?
