Trying to track a gun down
« on: December 06, 2010, 05:52:32 AM »
I am trying to track down a muzzleloader. 

It was made by a maker named Paul Young.  If anyone is familiar with any pieces made by him please let me know. 

The particular piece I am looking for is stocked in Cherry, with an ivory oval inlay in the cheekpiece.  It is scrimshawed with initials.  The carving around the tang or behind the cheekpiece includes a Dogwood Bloom. 

If anyone has seen this piece or any pieces by Paul Young please let me know I would love to negotiate a purchase.

I have a great map horn by Paul, but have no idea of where you might find that rifle.   Is it by chance a Jager type gun?

Thanks Mr. Getz, would love to see that horn.  Paul Young signed his guns P. Young in script on the top flat.  The gun I am trying to track down was an iron mounted Virginia or Pennsylvania style, all browned.  It has been a long time since I have seen it and the specific style escapes memory. 

Does anyone know of the location of any P. Young signed guns??

Any information would be great
