Good evening Stephen,

Thanks for the picture. I vaguely remember the rifle either having a scope or maybe just scope mounts. I surely remember the forestock, the engraving and for sure the bolt handle. I don't have a "image" in my mind of a scope. Belonged to a man named Kurt Vogel (I was told) who was in Alfred Gallifent's shop while I stopped by. I was not of there caste, so there was not much conversation, but I surely remember the rifle.

After reading (and re-reading) this thread I went creeping thru this forum and found this, as well as others

These fraser's are just plain wonderful. One of these little beauties in 7.65 would see me thru the rest of my hunting in fine stead.

Again thank you.
