Any chance of getting a better picture of the rifle? I'm interested in a better look at the bolt handle. Looks like another beautiful rifle and a handsome looking setter - really needs a good double barrel in the picture.

Jerry,
I don’t have permission of the current owner to post his pictures, the bolt knob is out of focus anyway. The bolt knob has a four panel checkering pattern with a sunburst at the end.
This rifle is discussed in detail in "Mister Rifleman" by Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier.

I’d like to expand on this a bit. I am contacted by mail, phone and email by folks who are trying to identify the maker of a classic custom rifle. There is nothing more rewarding than to be able to connect the maker with a rifle. I charge nothing for this service but do benefit in learning about new and wonderful things. I do not withhold any information and if the rifle belonged to a well-known person I pass that along as well. I do this for whoever ask, even dealers. I do not offer to buy the rifle with the exception of rifles that are for sale when the buyer cannot make up his mind if he should buy it or not. In cases like this I tell them if you buy the rifle on my advice and don’t like it I will buy it from you, normally for more than they paid for it. Sometimes that all it takes for the buyer to realize that it might be a good deal. And Mike, I for one, would like to express appreciation for that. I have personally learned a great deal from your posts, your book, and our various exchanges. Art

I’d like to also Thank MP for helping me on a couple of occasions with a Sedgley and Niedner, providing his opinion and thoughts. His book was a wonderful resource and now this new forum with more knowledge than anything out there.
Thanks Dave W, MP & other members for sharing your knowledge. It has sort of rejuvenated the subject for me........good or bad, it depends if it’s my view or the wife’s view. :-)
Can’t wait for the next book of articles!
Thx, -brian
