Onjutta,

Thanks for that post. I have been scouring the internet for pictures like that so I can build a Dickert inspired rifle. The patch box shot is excellent. May I use your photos?

Had you folks attended the Eastern Longrifle Show in Morgantown Pa Friday and Saturday, you could have looked at and handled HUNDREDS of original rifles.

Yeah, I missed that one too. Living in Texas and the express no longer exists.

My first build was an attempt at making a Dickert rifle. My patchbox is like that but not engraved. Thanks for the pictures.

Been going to shows and other events here in Central PA hoping to get a close up look at a Jacob Angstadt gun. My GGGGGFather. Found a very few by other Angstadts, but no Jacob.

I know this is an old thread but is there any chance you could share some pictures of this rifle with me? Are there any inlays on the cheek piece?

Thank you, Very handsome rifle! I am having one built for me and need some good pictures for reference to what I’m looking for. This should help

Here is another fine Dickert rifle showing the cheek side carving with inlays.

I does help to have some good reference pictures. This was the original Dickert that I was looking to simulate I was looking to have a rifle built. Turned out that Marvin(Kemper) offered to sell me his personal rifle which was a near copy that he had built for himself, and used for competition. Lucky!
