Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Anyone know O.H. Elliott & Co gunsmith? New 7x57! (pics added)

I JUST picked up an incredibly gorgeous 7x57 on a military '98 action with lovely wood, great checkering, and flawless blue from a client of mine. The gunsmith's name is stamped on the barrel O.H. Elliott & Co and I'm wondering if anyone knows about this 'smith?

Full length:



Recontoured tang



'smith stamp



top view (note crest removed from front ring)



Butt... I'm a sucker for great walnut



Wrap around checkering (seems to me to justify barrel-band front sling swivel)



Lyman peep sight... anyone know anything about this? Model name, etc?
