Thanks for posting. Neat Kizer rifle. Has anybody ever seen that scoop/gouge engraving before?

Very neat, thank you! The KRA and Tim Hodges' show back in spring have certainly opened my eyes to the skill of makers in the Shenandoah Valley.

I'm a first time poster. I had a Kiser  Rifle 10 or so years ago with the same signature and patchbox finial with the same deeply scooped engraving on the petals. I also have another kiser in the shop with the same daisy finial treatment. His guns seem to be rather scarce as yours is only the third one I have seen. He possibly had his training with someone in the Lancaster, area.

Nice gun.
