Gentlemen, I just acquired a R. G. Owen 7x57 rifle built on a commercial FN action from 1950. S/N is 5000 under the barrel. I assume it was built while he was living in Port Clinton, Ohio. It has the 100 & 200 yard flip up leaf sights on an engraved base and the std. Owen style hooded front sight. Receiver, floorplate, and back quarter of barrel are heavily engraved with deep relief scroll. Beautiful fleur-di-lis and ribanded checkering on pistol grip and forend. Can anyone tell me who was engraving his rifles in that time frame and anything else from his Port Clinton days? Thanks, Sandlapper
