I find the 'rosette' on the forend of that Ferlach rifle, an interesting use of horn, but I do not like it, however, it's interesting, none the less.
I feel it detracts from an otherwise excellent rifle's, 'work' and lines.
Sorry, but I find it quite ugly, along with that weird schnable 1/2 way down the forend - a really nice looking rifle would have been escalated to a MOST BEAUTIFUL Rifle, without those uhg, features - imho.
The "rosette" is a nod to the traditional which would be more in keeping with a horn grip cap, butt plate and a Bavarian cheekpiece. On this rifle, it reminds me of someone wearing cowboy boots with white tie and tails. It is otherwise a beautiful piece of workmanship and I have no objection to the secondary schnabel on the fore end, seeing that all three of my Oberndorf Model S carbines have the same feature.
I have a hard time imagining that rifle being taken along on a really arduous mountain hunt.
