Probably a long shot but does anyone recognise the makers mark in photo #3? The rifle is a 45-70 built up on a Siamese Mauser action. I read an article about such conversions when I was a kid in the 1978 or 79 Gun Digest and have wanted one ever since. Found this one at a gun show 8 or so years ago. According to the article a number of Siamese Mausers were imported in the '60's but were in such bad condition the majority of them were scrapped for their actions and were built up into 45-70 sporters by the importer. However, I don't believe this is one of them as this one exhibits a higher degree of workmanship than one would expect from a semi mass produced rifle utilizing a military action. The action is bedded and fit and finish are excellent. I've been trying to find out some info on who may have built this one since I've had it but have been unsucessful so far.
