Steve Zihn Flintlock pistol
      #106547 - 03/06/08 07:46 AM

Howdy all.

I am making and donating a nice colonial pistol to our Cowboy Church in Riverton, Wyoming. We are going to raffle it off as a fund raiser.
It’s got an English Walnut stock and a 45 caliber rifled barrel made by me. It’s got an L&R Small Manton lock.
The pistol will be relief carved and engraved and wire inlayed. Should be a rather exceptional piece.
So........ if any of you would like to take a chance, the tickets are $10 each, or 7 for $50.
The 2nd place prize is a Damascus bladed knife with a buffalo horn handle made my ABS master Bladesmith Audra Draper.
3rd place prize is a custom knife by “Crazy Magpie (Brian Semich) of Cody Wyoming.
You need not be present to win.

If you send whatever amount you want for tickets to Wind River Valley Cowboy Church at:
Box 2003
Riverton Wyoming [82501]
and a self addressed stamped envelope, we’ll get the tickets coming back to you on or about June 15th. The drawing will be August 16th of this year., so mail-ins should be sent before August 10th.
I will post pictures ASAP. I am carving the gun now, and I will be doing the wire inlay soon.

I thank you all in advance for your support,
God be with you.

Here are some pictures. Sorry about the poor photography, but you can get the general idea.

Steve-

I've gotta chime in here in praise of your work.
This pistol is beautiful.
