Interesting gun Rob. It is made well overall but I like the patchbox and toe plate in particular. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece. I like the high quality and tasteful decor. It's not overly engraved or inlaid but has lots of attractive details.

  Old guns like these just seem to have a soul as if their trying to talk. Thanks for showing.  Oldtravler

Thanks for posting the additional pictures.

It is a great rifle and SIGNED! These NE rifles share many decorative details. Some on this rifle are very similar to those on my rifle posted Aug 25, 2019. Unfortunately, mine is not signed.
