Nice, indeed! I'm a closet fan of Germanic-styled rifles too. I don't think I ever saw a Sharps Borchardt treated like that. It would have followed me home too.

Interesting under lever treatment. I've only ever seen pics of them converted like that, never in person. As for the ivory vs. bone, the only thing I know is to touch it (in an out of sight location) with a red hot wire to determine plastic vs. ivory (plastic will melt, ivory will burn). (It looks like ivory from where I'm sitting. Either way, it looks nice.)
