Maker Mark
Braidie designed and engraved a maker mark for 2nd Generation Butters & Foster and B & B Sterling on a 2" by 2" square piece of silver. The mark was placed in the National Bit, Spur and Saddle Collector's Association shadow box and was auctioned at the NBSSCA 30th Anniversary Reunion in May 2009.
