	A friend used the wet collodion process to take a picture of some of my rifles. It makes for a unique picture of rifles built during the 1880s captured by a process used in photography in the 1860s.

	Nice, quickest way to change right handed guns into left handed guns.

	the Borchhardt photo is exceptional--- fantastic work!!!! those slow processes yield incredibly fine grained pictures, far finer than silver process "film" or most modern e-photos. My guess that could have been blown up to near poster size without any image degradation (other that than in the print making) his lighting is also exceptionally well done. I'd love to know what the set up was.

	Something tells me he could probably make all my clunkers look great with his abilities! But I agree with Dale, that Pope Hi Wall is really nice!

	I have had the pleasure to communicate with Kurt Via E-Mail and for those who do not know him he is really a nice fellow as are all of his Rifles. JLouis.
