I have always liked the eagle cheek piece inlays and think this one is a bit special.. Not the most elaborate but certainly above average...Louie

Louie , It looks like your rifle might be above average also.

Louie,
Not sure if this is an eagle, but represents some type of bird?
This is on a half stock rifle by Ambrose Chapin, Earlville, N.Y.

I like that Eagle, he means business. Here is mine on my George W Glaze rifle. Not sure why he is upside down. I so I turned him right side up.

Hillbilly,

That isn’t a patch box finial is it?
Would like to see more! You have been busy

Great idea to start this, I like all these wonderful birds a lot!

I believe Hlbly’s patchbox finial is a “distlefink” or thistle finch in Moravian-speak of the day. We call then Goldfinches. My favorite patchbox design. God bless, Marc

Mark,

That’s spectacular, can you elaborate a little bit?

it is not a patchbox finial, just an inlay.
