More Gun Pictures

Little Blurry






Please forgive my lousy pictures in particular that muzzle blur....... Anyhow, No maker marked at all (did not pull the barrel)  Wanted to show that out of the ordinary cheek "inlay" which was actually cast/poured into the stock.  The rear sight has a vertically adjustable sleeve. no screw(much like 'our' California sight).  Hammer has been replaced with a crude replacement.  Overall condition near excellent and I do believe could be shot safely   Very little wear at the muzzle and btw little if any crowning champher..!  The obvious questions are: Who, where, when and if you would approx value...

Oh yes, Failed to print photo of her belly showing the full length brass "wear plate' running from rear of rear pipe to frt of guard tang and her very low sights....Caliber abt .45

Roger,  I know nothing about your gun, but I have seen that deer cheekpiece before but can't remember where.  A long time ago and it stuck in my mind.   How long have you had this gun?  Just curious, it'll drive me nuts tryng to remember where I saw it.

Nice looking rifle. I wouldn't rely too much on the deer inlay. I've seen it on several guns by different makers. I have a John Forrester (Tyler Co. WV) half stock rifle in my collection that has that particular inlay or at least one that is extremely close. No other similarities between the two guns, so I'd rule out Forrester.

Of course many could see that inlay [in most guns it's an overlay] a late hardware store stock item, almost always in German silver. If the gun is not signed chances are overwhelming that you will never know even the region where gun was made. The capbox, likewise, is a standard hardware store item.

Yes, I was assuming as much.   I have seen that type capbox on others....

Bill: Gotta figure it was on another rifle!!  This rifle has been 'around' here for about 20 to 25 years.  Bought at a gun auction in Lansdale....Pa.  As others have answered it was a fairly common type of 'inlay'//

Just a note related to the original post: Those inlays are/were not "poured in the stock." German silver pours at over 1600 degrees F.

I've seen that exact capbox marked  "TRYON" on the inside.

An attractive, well-made rifle.  The one feature I see that looks distinctive is the pierced sideplate. Perhaps someone will recognize the sideplate or will see a similarity to another one that might be a clue.
