I did mean Surkamer rifles, but I will happily look at any others that have similar style...I understand you may have a couple other rifles like it wink

Yes it's a little thicker than others.

Do you have any others to show us?

If you mean Surkamers the answer is no. If you mean other pre-war sporters I believe I saw a couple others around here.






That is an interesting way of shaping the nose, now that I look at it. Is that to serve as a bit of a cheekpiece?? Would explain why such a well configured, classically carved stock doesn't have one.

Here are two pre-war sporters by the same maker,one with a cheekpiece, one with-out.
