Posts: 3 Mar 8 12 4:40 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Hello, I am writing about a rifle my grandfather had in his collection when he died in the 1980's. Since then I have just kept it stored out of sight thus out of mind. I am now curious after looking at it what the history of the gun is, and the source of the beautiful inlay work. I assume it is american indian. If anyone has any tips for me on the origin of the indian engraver or where I could go for more information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!

Is it likely that the artwork was done later on? I need a source that can identify the artisans makers mark or trademark. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
