Even though these rifles are bespoke custom rifles usually per the customer's order, I would guess this crocodile rifle and the cherry blossom rifle, as I call it, as in-house rifles, to explore and display skills and abilities and create unique works of art.
I find this rifle amazing. Not ugly at all.
I would ask carefully how the enamel lasts over time if I wanted a finish like that.
If I ordered a rifle like this it would be a work of art, not a every day using rifle.
My every day rifles are plain and not much engraving, as I abuse rifles.
