Mark, Just got home a few hours ago. Pictures came out very nice. Thanks for posting. I would like to thank the guys at the Lapeer Sportsmen Club for their hospitality. I had a great time and meet a ton of great people.

Those are some beautiful guns. Very nice display. When were those guns made? I especially like those higher grade Smith gun engravings. Were they in Albert Kraus's period? Although your Parker,Fox and Ithacas are just as nice. Very nice, wish I could have seen them in person. Thanks for sharing pictures.
