How about an S-man rifle with a pistol grip cap and no S curve on the PG? Fred will be along soon with some photos. Without the S on the PG, the rifle does have a number of S-man characteristics like the use of American walnut, the cheek piece, the checkered flat top on the bolt knob, the rounded pattern at the back of the PG checkering, a panel of checkering between the PG and forend and the modification of the tang.

That such a talented man is lost in time is sad to me. I hope you can piece together this mystery. Material used may not rise to what we consider the best available but the style and workmanship certainty are. Love to know who did this work and why he remained so anonymous.

KY Jon, my friend, the S Man guns we are looking at are a bit less than what we would like to look at in this era. However, for research purposes, we welcome all information. The extremely talented John Oberlies did not seem to use any English Walnut in his projects, but the results of his work are wonderful.
