Unfortunately I no longer own this rifle, but wanted to share the pictures of it. Maybe it should be added to the library.

Nice rifle!!! Don't think that I could let a nice one like this get away. Has an Ohio look to it and appears to be finely made. The signature is over the top, good. Thought it might be a 'plains
rifle' until I saw the size of the bore. Probably shot many a squirrel. Doesn't look like it was used a whole lot, or just had a concerned owner(s) to be in such good shape. Thanks a bunch for bringing it in. I like it!
