Thanks Louie! That's a beauty for sure, and thanks for posting the pictures!

Eister was one of the better makers and it's nice to see one of his rifles.

Fabulous piece! Thank you for posting this gem!
Old George didn’t want that patchbox getting away did he? Never seen so many screws in a box.

Thanks Louie, this is a great rifle. I remember of holding it in my hands years ago at the KRA. I’ll never get tired of seeing Eister’s work.

I have always marvelled at Eister's understanding of rococco art. His carving and engraving always has a sense of movement.

Louie, Would I have to trade you my whole collection or could I keep one or two ?

JDM.....Let me think on that awhile...

We had in this area,Kenova WVa a fine long rifle maker whose name was Glen (Fireball) Napier and he made several copies of an Eister
rifle very similar to this one for a local coal millionaire.The coal baron had him use my locks which he insisted on.The gunmaker thought they were too expensive and said they're too fancy inside

. He was one of the many modern makers of repro long rifles that thought the lock had to be the cheapest thing on the gun.That's a beautiful rifle shown here and the Eister name revived this old memory from long,long ago.

I got to look at this rifle up close at the KRA show, all I can say is the pictures don't do it justice. Thank you Louie for posting the pictures and thanks for letting me handle this great rifle.
