Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Whats an Ottmar rifle worth these days?

Hello all,

I am the granddaughter of the late and great Maurice Ottmar. Reading all your wonderful comments about Grandpa has brought me to tears and am I so so proud to be called his granddaughter. I would love to talk with any of you who have stories about him, pictures of him. My family own a few guns Grandpa made for each of us along with my hunting knife he made for me on my first hunt back in 1990. I know all of us would love to talk with you about him, his work, his great adventures.

I look forward to hearing more!

He was a genius with walnut and steel.

Brandi,
David Christman in Louisana gives all the credit for his stockmaking ability to Maurice. David is one of the most talented American Custom Gunmakers Guild stockmakers. He said Maurice was so patient with him and was always a very kind and considerate gentleman.
You are very lucky to have such a fine Grandpa.

How can you identify his rifles? I have a Pre-64 Model 70 375 H&H with all the bells and whistles I have been told is by his making. Thanks.
