Daryl,
What a beautiful rifle! I was going to guess that your brother had made it but someone else beat me to it. That is top notch workmanship, and I know what I'm talking about. I have seen thousands of flinters and none are any better than that one. I even made my living for a short while by building carved and inlaid rifles but never built one that would top that one. I am interested to know who made the long barrel for it? Those are very hard to come by and quite costly to boot. Bob
