Sorry to hear of losing another craftsman and
artist. I met Mr. Bagwell a good while back at
some kind of outdoor show when he was selling
Sharps rifles. He had several there, and a couple
of black powder muzzleloaders that he used for
hunting, and not for looks. I don't remember what
size the one was, but you could almost stick your
thumb in the end. He was a really pleasant person,
and we talked a good while about muzzleloader
hunting, and he was telling me about how accurate
the Sharps rifles were, let me handle the guns, etc.
Really nice man to visit with.
Still have the cards he gave me somewhere.
He was out of Naples, in the ne part of the state
at the time. I can't recall if he said he lived there,
or just did business from there or both.
Good hunting that way, so probably both
RIP Mr Bagwell
