Maybe we can get Roger Kehr (Scrollcutter) or SDH or others that are ACGG members here to chime in, but I'm under the impression before a gunmaker is accepted into the Guild, they do have to submit a piece of work for review. Kind of like passing the board for some of the other professional organizations, except this takes much more talent.

I think, and am probably wrong, but when Guild members contribute their area of expertise to a firearm project for fundraising, it is considered a "Guild Gun" also. Say, if Mark Stratton did the metal work, Chic Worthing did the stockwork, Roger Kehr did the engraving, etc...

Hopefully someone can chime in and straighten me out if I'm wrong.
