Darn, What a shame, many rifles are lost twice, once when they are broken and again when they are repaired. Nails, screws, rawhide and glue!!! It could be the same maker, that bolt knob flattened and checkered on top is not something I see very often. The rifle at the top belongs to your friend Mr. Hudson whose email I have lost along with everyone else. What is the serial number of your rifle and please post some more pictures.
