Hershel House spent his life in Woodbury, Kentucky — building rifles, forging knives, and keeping the crafts of the American frontier alive. The Hershel House Woodbury School Foundation carries that forward, teaching the next generation of builders the same hand skills that defined his life.

Stocked in burl maple, this flintlock was likely made in the region of Florence, Italy. It bears the "Medici mark" on the barrel indicating it was part of the Medici family arms collection. A construction date of 1710-1720 seems likely. A very fine and attractive piece.
Could not be happier with the new ramrod. It is the finishing touch on my CVA mountain rifle restoration that I originally built in the mid 70’s. The hickory is quite flexible and strong. Experimented with tannic acid and iron nitrate and came up with nice color that complements the stock. Thanks so much!
