It is indeed a grand rifle!  But I don't see any GS unless there's an overlay on the pb lid?  I see bright steel, no German silver.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Taylor,
You are correct, the oval inlay on the patchbox lid is sterling silver.  Once I get the wrist relieved between the tang and nose of the comb carving I will inlet a sterling silver inlay into the wrist.
