Bring Me To Life!

Time to recognize someone that I hold in extraordinarily high esteem and deserves recognition for his masterful skill and keen eye for even the smallest detail.

I was fortunate to become the caretaker of a wonderful gun, a piece of history and art. It wasn't without faults, which from my perspective became opportunity. I was even more fortunate to have my friend help me bring this gun to its former grandeur. This was a long and winding road so to speak. From the very first moments as we created a plan and selected the perfect blank this has been a wonderful adventure. I will document the process detailing the gun as we received it and the journey we undertook together to bring it to life once again. Some sneak peek pics here but the entire process will be documented in the Lefever Arms Collectors Association Newsletter over several issues throughout 2020.

Thank you, Brian. I will always be grateful to you for your incredible ability and patience. You confirmed that I made the right decision every single time you touched that gun. I never thought I'd own anything so beautiful.
