It's high quality through and through and has been engraved by the well know Mr. Duguet. I can not find any info as to who did the gunsmithing or wood work. The checkering pattern looks similar to Larry Brace rifles I have seen but I am not certain. Any ideas? My apologies for the awful photography. I was in a rush.

Also look under the butt plate. Figures don't lie, But Liars figure Assumption is the mother of mistakes

I have had the rifle completely apart and there is nothing that inscribed anywhere that attributes this build to anyone. The engraver has been identified but I have not received a response from him as i was hoping he might be able to ID the maker for me.
