Jud's Work to be displayed at the Midland Center for the Arts

The Rifle

The rifle is a contemporary original flintlock rifle architecturally reminiscent of the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania rifles of the Golden Age 1790-1810. The patchbox, side plate, trigger guard, cheekpiece inlay and ramrod pipes are pure silver. The handmade lock is color case hardened and the breech end of the barrel features engraved gold inlay. 

Beautiful proportions and exquisite decoration. This is truly a magnificent work of art!
