Can anyone tell me or is anyone aware of Jack Garner of TVM signing barrels of his builds with the initial TVM. Trying to authenticate a smoke pole I acquired
A true Jack Garner Build?

That engraving looks sort of amateurish.
It’s all good/ figured out.

When one Jack Garner TVM Authentication thread simply isn't enough.
Sorry it honestly bothers you that I was trying to figure out the best way to post a thread being new to this group and not forum savvy. I am sure you are a perfect person in all you do so you have a good day sir

Spoke with Jack yesterday all hood
Can you share Jacks input. I have one of his guns and it's signed with his name, no initials.
Jack said all of his builds are signed By Him J Garner on the top of the barrel. Mine is a sold blonde kit from TVM, assembled/ finished and engraved by the buyer.
I had one when M Avance was taking over TVM. It was signed J Garner and so poorly built I sent it back and Matt built a new one.
Thats not typical, but I do know at that time Jack was mentoring some younger craftsmen trying to pass on his expertise
It’s what he sent with his name on it. Rush job to clear orders up and still waited a year.
Wow
I have a flintlock fowler that has the same signature on the barrel.
*good*
