Eric Kettenberg on Blogspot and Track of the wolf
« on: May 02, 2010, 03:40:29 PM »
Mighty clean, cherry stocked early rifle, looks like  Oerter and Leyendecker influences.  Super clean.

Love the cherry stock on this one. Sort of elegant in it's simplicity. From a wood carving perspective, that pretty restrained work than what we ususally see from Eric.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

This rifle is for sale at Track's web-site, and the price is very fair and reasonable! Some nice photographs there, too.

Man - look how skinny she is at the front of the lock - just a real graceful looking gun.

Stepped wrist guns are tricky- the architecture either works or it doesn't - this one definitely does.....

I love the engraving on the patchbox - reminds me of that patchbox relic in RCA 1.

The patchbox is influenced by the Leyendecher box Eric showed us.

I thought that was supposed to be chains and leather?
