Thanks, I think it's a fantastic find regardless but its always great to be able to connect something to a name or a story.

Like the treatment of the "S" curve.
Slightly rounded in front and flat to concave in the rear.

Working on an "S" curve stock and noticed this "S" curve is backwards from most.
Convex in the front and concave in the rear. Most are concave in the front and convex in the rear.
Could be a distinctive characteristic.

Looks somewhat like a Marlin Ballard pistol grip Chuck.

Vall, Appreciate the picture of the Ballard.
It is also concave toward the front and convex toward the back.
Opposite of the OP's rifle, which is very nice.

This is the signature feature on the unknown rifle pictured on p.108 and discussed on p.54 of Michael's book. I have looked at rifles from A. W. Peterson, and Joseph Meunier but I'm confident its not their work. In execution it is very like a Niedner product but it is completely unmarked.
