*NEW* Customer's Comments “Unlike so many others associated with Living History, you actually produce super authentic items and satisfy customer’s requests in a timely manner. I’ve been absolutely delighted with everything you’ve ever done or made for me.” Mike C.-New York “I have been and am now the proud owner of several Clay Smith’s guns and have nothing but high praise for his workmanship. The quality of the fit and finish, historic accuracy and the shooting ability are unsurpassed. They shoulder as if they are part of your anatomy.” Dave M.-Virginia
"Thank you for a lovely knife which will remind me of
the Williamsburg craftsmen I knew and the ones I still know today."
George M.-Illinois "I wanted to thank you for your hard work and beautiful craftsmanship. The gun is a fantastic showpiece that is a welcome addition to our home." Jerry B.-Kentucky
"Rifle came yesterday
afternoon! WOW. It was well worth the wait, I knew you were a good
craftsman by your reputation but I did not know you were this good!
I can not wait to zero it in and fire it and show it off at the
range." John A.-New York
"The rifle arrived and it is fantastic. I have never seen one to rival it. Your artistry is awe-inspiring...I feel really lucky to have acquired this gun." Jeff H.-Louisiana
"In my opinion, this is the finest set of dueling pistols made in America in recent history." Ed Rayl-West Virginia
"Musket just arrived. Think it is the most beautiful thing that I
own. Great job. Thanks." Steve M.-California
"The gun arrived yesterday and it's excellent! It feels much lighter
in the hand than I expected and it's very well balanced. I won't get a
chance to shoot it for a little bit, but I look forward to trying it out
for the first time, I know it will be an excellent shooter! Thank you
very much for an excellent gun that I'm proud to own." Eli
D.-Vermont "Got home last night to find a very long box on the front porch. Being a trained and experienced law enforcement officer I was able to deduce that a rifle was most probably inside the package. You had said "It turned out nice". That is an understatement. What I got is a very fine rifle indeed. Everything I asked for and as much as I could have hoped for. I am really impressed with the inletting. The curl on the wood is especially fine. My only regret is that it will be the week end before I can shoot it. Thank you very much it has been a pleasure doing business with you. I hope we can do further projects in the future." Larry Z.-Oklahoma

4560 Village Park Dr. East Williamsburg, Va. 23185 Shop/Home: 757-258-5895 Phone hours are Monday - Sunday 10AM to 9PM *Unless I'm at an event*
Shop hours are by appointment only. I have been building guns since 1972 and served 21 years as a journeyman at Colonial Williamsburg. I am continually building guns in the traditional manner. I produce rifles, fowling pieces and pistols of the 18th and 19th Century with the same care and attention used by the original masters. My goal is to build these weapons so as to preserve the old ways and to better understand the trade and tradesmen of the time. There are few things produced today that, like a custom built gun, can be handed down through the generations as a cherished family heirloom. I take custom orders for weapons and accessories. If you are interested in purchasing a custom made item, please contact me for more information. I try to keep a stock of pouches, horns and accessories on hand. Occasionally I will have a few finished guns as well. Contact me if there is something I can build for you. If you visit here often, hit your refresh button on your URL bar (or your F5 button) to load the latest pages. Thanks for visiting.
Got a chance to make a few horns again. Check out what's available on the Powder Horn page.
