Beautiful rifle, outstanding. Unique trigger guard, is that common on Jaeger rifles?

 

[Nor'Easter]

That is beautiful!

Thanks for the kind words.

This triggerguard is most often seen on Brandenburg region rifles. I copied the triggerguard finials and the sideplate from a Pistor Jaeger.

Very nice job, beautiful wood, if I was in the market for a jaeger I'd jump on this one, good luck!

Sorry for the blurry pic...the gun's very dusty anyway at the moment......I decided it needed a patchbox after I found some figured walnut amongst my wood scraps. I can't believe how well the figure in the box lid matches the buttstock. I've still got to buff and put a couple more coats on finish on the box lid.....I'll post better pics after I get that done.

 

[martin9]

Heres some new pics of the box lid...I think it turned out well.

 

[martin9]

forgot one...

 

[Ranger94]

I have to stop looking at this. It is beautiful.

 

[martin9]

a couple full length pics with the new patchbox...I lowered the price to $1800 shipped. I'll leave it at that for awhile and if it doesn't sell will keep it and hunt the rest of the season with it.
