Reconstruction Project at Boulton
Wayne Watson Donates Rifle to Raise
Funds
Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for that
black powder enthusiast, antique collector, artist, historian or
early American handicraft student on your Christmas list? Consider
purchasing a chance or more to win a contemporary hand-crafted custom
made reproduction longrifle by master gunsmith, Wayne Watson.
Watson's work can be seen in the 20th Century
Fox Studio's "Last of the Mohicans", for which he produced
historically accurate war clubs, tomahawks, and the legendary "kill
deer" rifle carried by Daniel Day-Lewis, who played the lead
role.

To benefit the Historical Society's Hawk gunshop
project, Watson has generously donated this beautiful work of the
gunmakers art valued at over $10,000. The rifle is a faithful reproduction
of an original Bucks county Pennsylvania longrifle made by Andrew
Verner.
The piece is handsomely carved in curly maple
with fine sterling silver engraved inlays and silver wire work.
Chances are $20 each and will go on sale at the Boulton Christmas
open house on December 8th. The tickets will be sold throughout
the year, and the lucky winners will be drawn in December 2008.
Contact the Society office at 610-759-9029 for more information.
