(1956-present). Forgett created over 100 different replica firearms models in his lifetime. Forgett was President of the National Firearms Museum, Chairman of the United States International Muzzle Loading Team, leading the U.S. to five consecutive World Championships, a feat unmatched to this day. An avid big-game hunter, Forgett was recognized by Safari Club International (SCI) as the first person in over 100 years to take all Big Five" game species of Africa (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo) with a muzzle-loading rifle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Forgett). These weapons are reported to come from the, Maharaja of Patiala", late Mogul period. A copy of this provenance will be included with the piece.
