Dr Bob that was an absolute wonderful display. Thanks for sharing. Wish I was there to handle them

Dr. Bob,
From just the post and discussion here you have educated a bunch of us. Really appreciate the efforts that it takes to put this together and to take the time to share with us all. Let�s take those Tim cups, fill em up with a good beverage and toast you for the excellent work!!!

Dr. Bob,

Marvelous collection of American drillings; I can't imagine anyone's preference for tin cups unless they were attributable to some historical figure.

My question is whether you shoot any of your drillings, and if so, how accurate are the rifles? I formed the impression that the drillings were relatively expensive compared to most doubles of the era, and, as a result, a lot of work went into them to ensure accuracy of the rifles. By the way, I gained the impression from some examining some records from the Hollenbeck/Royal/Three Barrel drillings, which show prices of approximately $100 and up for the drillings.

If you have any close-up photos of your drillings, I would love to see them.

Thanks.

Colin M
