shellac filler and then used a
finish made from his own for
mula.
From thin sheets of silver,
Brooks fashioned cleaning
mountings to adorn the highly
polished stock Finally the wea-
pon was completed. Jerry Miller
of sos Washington street made
the case and the masterpiece was
sent to General Edison.
Attends Presentation
Brooks big moment came dur
ing the recent annual dinner
meeting Of the National Rifle
Assn. He and Mrs. Brooks, the
former Laura Metz, of Lowell,
watched and listened with 1,100
others in the ball room of the
Statler Hotel in Washington as
the rifle was presented to Robert
B. Anderson, deputy secretary
of defense. Making the presenta-
ton was Fess Parker, Jr., who
plays Davy Crockett in the Walt
Disney picture about the famous
frontierSman, congressman, bear
hunter and hero of the Alamo.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks heard the
rifle described as 1.-The worlds
finest craftsmanship" and heard
the flintlock maker acclaimed as
"the finest gunsmith in the land"
While rifle experts from all
parts of the country applauded,
Brooks was called to speakers
table and complimented for his
work of art He was then COM
missioned to make a similar gun
to be presented to next years
speaker.
Longtime Hobby
Brooks, So, was tool maker
at the Timken plant in Colum-
bus for six years until arthritis
forced him to quit. Looking for
a new trade, he decided to make
and repair guns, having created
a few weapons as hobby earlier
at Belpre where he attended high
school. The featuring of two of
his guns in The American Rifle
man led to the inquiry from
General Edison and the creation
of the Kentucky Rifle replica.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks
know how to handle firearms
with the best of them Brooks
was an Ohio champion in 1853
and Mrs. Brooks has many
medals to attest for her sharp
shooting.
Brooks has learned in a letter
from Deputy Defense Secretary
Anderson that the recipient of
the gun he created will know
how to use the flintlock, which
employs flint against steel for
the firing spark.
Il am one Of the most envied
men around Washington these
days because of the beautiful
gun which you made for me :"
Anderson wrote: Il shall not
overlook any opportunity to
show off my rifle"
