Hello to all, I am new to the site and hoping you all can help me. I have in my possession a nice reproduction of an early Lancaster style longrifle. The previous owner inherited the gun and had no use for it, so I got it right. All he knew was that it was made in 1975 and that his relative shot black powder matches with it. It is very good work and the script name on the barrel is L. Sanchez. I have found reference to a Lew Sanchez as a carver and engraver on contemporary replicas, could this be the same man ? If so is he still alive to authenticate his work? Any help would be much appreciated ! Thanks.
