When I moved to Montana in 1978 I originally came to build replica firearms which was an original dream of mine. I was a trapper then and would help artists with accuracies in their work so their photos and tracings would be correct.
It was an amazing experience because many collectors would purchase the artifact and then the work I made to create a set.
