I thought you might enjoy seeing something a bit different than the usual British and European single shooters or rifles, regardless of manufacture, that are made in those styles.

In this case, we have a Browning 78 in "traditional" US styling. To make it more interesting, it has been tastefully engraved with skulls of two North American animals - a bison and a wild sheep. The pictures do not do the engravings justice. They are much more detailed than you can see, with rings on the horns and cracks on the skulls. The engraving is unsigned and I do not know who the engraver was. If you happen to know then please share the information.

Caliber is .45-70 and, other than the engraving, the rifle is as cataloged. I thought the curved buttplate would be a killer but it is actually quite pleasant to shoot with 300gr factory loads.
