Looking for photos of Henry Wolf's work.

[DavidC]

I'm looking now at Wolf no. 3 signed rifle in "The Long rifles of Western Pennsylvania" but my search for more and better photos has turned up null. I did find a couple old posts on the forum here but the images were from now unsupported host sites so I couldn't view them.

I'd like to see more of the rifle's geometry from other views, like looking down the length from the butt, and to see details the book completely obscures, like the toeplate.

Does anyone have more information on this builder and some useful images?

The Kentucky Rifle Foundation has a CD in their online store called "Western Pennsylvania Rifles". One of the rifles featured is that same Henry Wolf rifle #3. There are seven photos of the rifle in full color and high resolution. It has the three views you see in the gook plus one bottom view,  and two muzzle views. You can purchase the CD at their website.

2011 president's display?

Dave,

Yes, that is the one. It has nineteen other Western Pa rifles on it along with the Henry Wolf. You can enlarge the photos to get some of the detail you need.

Okay, I'll get it on order and have a look. As far as recreating such a gun goes is there any information on scale or dimensions or would whatever I make be more of an "inspired -by" sort of piece?

I've never tried to duplicate an existing gun, just small features.
