H47,
I don't think we have established a part of the country where these were made. My first one (picture 9) came from CA but the widow who sold it said her husband had bought it at Paul Jaeger's shop in PA. I think Michael's rifle with scope came out of WA state. The one with the poorly repaired stock came from TX. I just got the full stocked one and I will see where the seller may have found it. I know one of the Kornbrath engraved ones came out of IL and I will try to find out where another of the engraved ones was found. I don't know if Michael's papers have any more info about where the rifles have turned up.
