Lot 24: Hunting Bag & Powder Horn by: Tim Sanner, Lawrence Fiorillo, & Christine Connolly with Longrifle by: Allen Martin

This collaborative set is the perfect complement to any longrifle. The hand-made pouch by Lawrence Fiorillo is the perfect size. It’s big enough to carry what you need for the hunt or shoot, but it still tucks under your arm to stay secure as you navigate through the wilderness. The brindled cowhide and pigskin lining add a decorative touch to a practical tool. The powder horn made and engraved by Tim Sanner features the motto “Liberty or Death”. A horn featuring this logo can be seen in one of the few contemporary drawings of the legendary riflemen of the American Revolution. The horn is hung on a gorgeous strap woven with top quality wool and linen by Christine Connolly. What better way to honor the 250th of the American Revolution than adding this remarkable set to your collection!

Any longrifle collection is not truly complete without a Schimmel (or barn) gun.  These rifles were simple and practical, while still capturing the beauty of wood, brass and steel. Allen Martin has taken the simplicity of the Schimmel styling and elevated it to a piece of art you can shoot!  Allen’s brass mounted rifle features a beautifully carved curly maple stock made from a tree in his own front yard. A .54 caliber, swamped 43 ½” Rice barrel and hickory ramrod, paired with a Chambers Early Ketland lock and crisp single trigger provides all you need to ring steel, take a deer or make holes in paper!
