Daniel Marker style
« on: May 14, 2025, 01:27:17 AM »
Well, this one took awhile for me to get done.  In the style of Daniel Marker of Sharpsburg, MD area, at least as close as I could get based off photos of several of his rifles.  Harrison stump sugar maple, Rice B swamped .50 44" barrel, Chambers golden age lock, Davis double set triggers, 13 Sterling silver inlays, way too many piercings in the brass.  Build #33 for me, first one with a ramrod drill runout, dang quarter sawn blank pulled it nearly a half inch low and wide.  Glued in a patch section of wood so I could play with a wear plate with piercings to make it look purely decorative.  Few quick pics yesterday after putting it all back together after wood and metal finishing, but you can get a good idea of it.

Fantastic! I like to see more “golden age” rifles. The wear plate fits right in with the style, too.
