Ornate barrel fluting images please...
      #317563 - 28/06/18 03:52 AM

I'm looking for inspiration, and I've been looking through the web for images of ornately fluted vintage rifle barrels.

I'm not finding what I want to see.
Maybe y'all can help.



This image shows a general idea of what I'm looking to see, but I want more - much more.
I'd been searching for images of antique target rifles thinking I'd get a good batch of barrel art, but not so much.


I will appreciate any and all fancy barrel art that you can show here!


Cheers
Tinker

like this?

"Matched pair of Rhein Metall, breech-loading target pistols. These magnificent, exhibition-grade pistols are gold inlaid and relief engraved with European walnut forearms and fluted grips. The pistols have adjustable target rear sights and single set triggers. The fluted barrels are blued with relief-engraved floral and cross-hatched designs on a stippled background. Intricate, gold, filigree designs are inlaid on the muzzles, breeches, sides and tops of the barrels. The top of each barrel is gold inlaid with the maker's name and address: "RHEIN.METALLW. U.MASCH. FABR.ABT. SOMMERDA GEWEHRFABRIK." on an oval panel with gold inlaid borders. The breech, side plate, hammer and backstrap have deep, relief-engraved, scrollwork panels with gold inlaid borders. The trigger guard and breech lever are blued with relief engraving and gold inlaid filigree. The screws and barrel wedge escutcheons feature fine engraving. The pistols are complete with a European walnut, French-fitted, velvet lined case and accessories. The case is lined with green velvet and contains: (1) a pewter oil bottle, (2) screwdriver with ebony handle and engraved steel blade, (3) engraved steel socket with ebony handle and (4) twenty-eight round, silver-plated bullet block with engraved borders. A cleaning rod that was originally part of the set is missing. This magnificent set of exhibition grade pistols represents the finest turn-of-the-century German gun-making and engraving skill. This is a one-of-a-kind set of pistols that displays unmatched craftsmanship and detail."

Lancaster my friend - I knew I could count on you to deliver.

Please let the images flow from your vault of fine European fashion.
I look forward to seeing whatever you bring to the conversation.

If I were to get specific - I'd ask for examples where there is interesting fluting features on barrels which maintain a generally round, not octagonal or otherwise faceted contour.



Thanks!

well, thats a problem
fluting is most times combined with octagonal barrels on target rifles

Picture second up from the bottom, is almost identical to the open rear sight on my "new" Model 71 Mauser sporter. The 30" bl. barrel is not fancy at all but, cool open sight.
