Carver

[8ball]

Hi there,
Could someone would be able to identify the artist who did this nice and perfect carving work? I bought the gun few tears back as new old stock. I did write to Pedersoli and they told me that this custom made 54 cal. Jäger rifle produced in the Target version with slow 1:65 twist and the shorter 28" barrel's length of the Hunter model was manufactured and shipped to Canada in 2004. They also told me that the carved stock and patch box, probably was a work made by the previous owner. Thanks!

Mike

What a beautiful flinter and a pleasure to see it. Thanks for that. I can offer no assistance as to the artist. I guess somewhere between Pedersoli and you, the answer lies waiting. I hope this forum helps and likely more people that see it and talk about it, the better chance of locating the artist, so all the best.

Could have been anyone, likely the previous owner (or one of the previous owners if there is more than one). Should be able to track previous owners down…….maybe. it’s not uncommon for owners of muzzleloaders to apply some home personalization.

I believe this to be laser done artwork, very nice but to perfect to be hand done.

Looks like a laser job to me also.

While I wouldn’t have hesitated to buy this gun at a nice price, I’m inclined to believe that it was done by a previous owner with some colder weather on his hands and not by laser. Vines ending at intersections rather than over/under, lines having varying proportions and curlicues that are confusing to me.
Having said that, I would appreciate this more than an exacting laser job.

Yes it is not perfect as a laser job would be so someone made this nice carving but who?...

Who- you may never find out, but having a ‘mystery’ helps you fall asleep at night thinking of all the possibilities! lol.
I have a couple that help me- a Model 14Rem in .25Rem that I can almost guarantee wasn’t fired but has Weatherby type polished bluing…who would do that?
Or a Savage 99CD in .375WCF with the magazine…. 375’s only sold with the rotor mag….

I took a chance if ever he was a CGN member...
