[Parzifal]

I didn't build it. :rotf: My fingers are all thumbs. :shocked2:
I found the pics in the web.
:hatsoff:

If "Schnickschnack" means gaudy embellishment then I agree with you. Too far over the top for me. GW

hmm, I still think somebody here could make a real gun out'a that! (oh,yea,, IMHO)... :rotf:

Now, the computer I'm using has a lousy screen, so I can't see it real well, but from what I can see, I do like the fore end decoration..the running deer, the hunters, etc. It appears reasonably well done (again, considering the screen I'm looking at right now), and is the type of stuff you will see on 17th and 18th century German rifles.

Well, perhaps it didn't lies on your screen,the pics are so lousy. :redface:

That's really...errr....GERMANIC-looking. Yes, that's the term. "Kitsch" is another term that describes a German specialty. :shocked2:

 

[rabjr]

:hmm: There maybe a good reason why those pic's are lousy. Wouldn't you think...someone taking the time to build something that fancy would make sure they took the best possible pic's of it?

It looks like lessons 1 through 250 all on the same rifle. I like it in a strange way.

 

[JohnTheGreek]

Buy it...shoot it...hunt with it. Overdone, for sure, but that wasn't uncommon with Jaeger's was it?

Would be just the thing to take to Germany on a wild boar hunt. If I had the money to buy this piece, I would do just that.

:hmm: Frankly to me it's so overdone I wouldn't want it as a gift. Kirrmeister's word "Schnickschnack" suits it to a "T." This is an example of what we used to call "Lily Guilder's" work. Further I think this belongs in a museum as an example oh "How Not to Finish a Good Gun." :shake:

 

[Mike Brooks]

Some of you are missing my point. Not only is it over decorated , it's not well executed. It's just plain ugly!
Over decoration is fine, many of the top buyilders today overdecorate to show off their skill. The guy that built this should have stuck to a plainer gun that matched his skills. I'd say this guy excells in metal work as the engraveing looks to be pretty good. The carving on the other hand leaves much to be desired...and that side plate..... :barf: Need I say more? :surrender:

 

Picture in your mind the dandy that would carry this rifle to a rondy. Wouldn't he be the life of the party. :rotf:
