Another “What is It” Game Scene Butt Plate #613716 04/10/22 10:50 PM

OP Jolly Bill Sidelock Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 581 Likes: 8 Upstate/Western NY	I have another butt plate that I have no idea what it would go to. It shows a game scene, is a little smaller and is curved. European I suspect. It measures 4 7/16 inches heel to toe, is 1 ½ inches wide and the screw hole spacing is 2 5/8 inches. Any ideas on what gun this one may be for? And thanks for your help in my other thread telling me my “MG” marked butt plate is for a Gebrüder Merkel. Much appreciated.

They did have the Gerbruder Merkel from my other post as suggested. So, still "a don't know". Thanks for your help. Jolly

Molding a nice game scene was very inexpensive and added a touch of 'fancy' to an otherwise plain gun. No proof of this just surmising. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
