Welcome Back Glenn!
One time an engraver was upset with me because my photo of his work was shown on a magazine cover larger than life size?!?!
I'd sure like to see the the rifle as a whole? and hear some of the specifics.

I've got a new pre-WWI Mauser sporter by Schlegelmilch,Suhl, but it's all in pieces and parts on my bench.
