Another local seller's items:
Items for sale by Del Snavely:
This first one is a TVM .54 Cal Tennessee Flinter with a 42" barrel. It has steel furniture and was built as a po'boy rifle, but it does have grade 5 curly maple stock. I would like to get $1500 for it OBO.
This next one has a history that I made a video about. It was built in 1966 by Ted Fellowes and has a William (Bill) Large .45 cal barrel. The barrel is 44" long. All the rest of the info is in the document I'm sending as well as in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irr4OFP0w_I
Oh, this target goes with the Ted Fellowes rifle. I have taken 2 deer with that rifle. This is at 100 yards. I would like $2000 for the Ted Fellowes long rifle OBO.
This pistol was made by R.L. Loken in Rugby, ND in 1980 and has never been fired. This is a beautiful setup. I would like to get $1200 for this pistol. The R.L. Loken pistol is .44 cal.
This is a Pedersoli .54 cal KY pistol. I bought it as a backup to the .54 cal TVM for hunting Elk & Moose. I would like to get $450 for it.
I also have this handmade longbow by J.D. Berry bows. We spent 3 hours on the phone talking about what I wanted in a longbow. He also wanted to know where I would be hunting with it and when he found out I was in ND, he told me that made a big difference due to the cold weather, so he made it with special hard woods to handle the weather here. I would like $600 for it OBO. This bow is called The Buck Swatter...lol
I'll have to take some more photos of the other things I have. I have a full black bear rug, minus the claws (damned dog...lol), lots of a few handmade long knives as well as other things. I'll get you more pics of things as I can.

Setting here tonight reminded me of our evening around the campfire at last week's Hugh Glass Rendezvous, as we enjoyed the musical talents of Sam Wiechmann. Such a great kid & so wonderful he chose to join us.

I have SO many photos to get uploaded yet & edited. Here are just a couple unedited pics from Saturday. Following our raffle drawing, Rodney F Beattie & June and Beth VL presented the HGR committee members, LaQuita Shockley, Sherry & Pete Gusenius, & Chad Abel, with gorgets which they had made as an appreciation token. Was VERY unexpected (& unnecessary), but greatly appreciated. Was a very touching gift!!

Tom Hannig, one of our long time Rendezvous vendors, came to camp & bought our very last Hugh Glass cap. And it may truly be the end of the line, as this style may not even be available again!
Thanks Tom!!!
