Gotta Know?

Thanks Tom

Is that ivory on the pistol grip? Seems to have an Alaskan theme, maybe it is walrus tusk on the grip?

The grip cap and forend cap are both ivory, now it has a ivory bead front sight.

Very doubtful more than one was ever made. If you did find another I would expect to pay a few hundred dollars for it.

I understand that my answer might be somewhat on the funny side, it was a little funny to me as well .

Now the facts, I bought this rifle in the last few months at a well advertised auction. Everyone stayed far away from it, it's not what one would expect of a custom rifle.

The difference was that I knew what I was bidding on, the sale price was in the hundreds.

It might sell for a little more next time it's sold.

Damn, I am going to have to get out to more auctions!

love this rifle...stunning..... some sporters just turn me on, i love the craftsmanship, and hand work that went into them....you wont find this anymore in the age of computer control tech.
easier to push a button then turn a screw...

"Folk Art"???? That's ART, pure and simple, like "belongs at the Louvre"!!

I'd dearly love to have her sister!!!

I'm glad you all like this "ART" we might all have a different view but it is art in my view.
