That narrows it down a bit. With the stock cheek piece shaped like it is I thought a German client. I wonder if the German engraver that is on this site could tell who did the engraving?
Mike Nice gun- always a good idea to do a chamber cast, also chamber length for the shotgun barrels. I am a bit curious here- in what way would the stock and cheekpiece vary from an Austrian client to a German client?? Different game taken afield- scope or no scope? Very curious about this-- Der Fuchs!!!

Francis: Note the upgrade(4th from top) here at Blaser: http://www.blaser.de/index.php?id=888&L=1It is possible that a German ordered it to suit his fancy but to me it seems otherwise for now. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Francis:
Maybe I should have referred to it as either Bavarian or a Tyrolean variant. A little difficult to see in the image.
Kind Regards,

When the mail man delivers this one I will take some really detailed pictures and put them on Photobucket. This should be a good shooter.

I wouldn't put too much reliance on the style of cheekpiece to determine who owned the gun, this was always a matter of taste.The Bavarian cheekpiece was easier to make, so it was often "pushed"( it was not cheaper for the customer however).

The gun showed up by UPS, and the box it was shipped in was damaged really bad. But the gun was not. Now I need to replace the underlever cover/sheathing as it was damaged with a section missing when I purchased it. Any help/ideas on what material I should utilize for this? I was thinking Lignum Vitae or a nice piece of Cocobolo. It would need to be a dense hard piece of wood or buffalo horn.

You should use the same type material as original, if possible. The most common material for this was buffalo horn.

I thought I had saved a link to a source, but I guess it was deleted. There was a person in Alaska selling horn material, high quality. Anyone have a source for this material?
Thanks
