Years ago I bought a high wall with Niedner barrel in .38 - 55. The nice custom stock had later been carved with an open mouthed bear - and what I think were actually cats' teeth fitted!

I gave the stock to a friend as a "gag gift" - who knows, maybe it will show up on Antiques Roadshow.

Michael, take a look at the repairs on my Optimus Lefever while we are in Vegas. I think a similar fix could remove the "coat of arms" on your Schaefer.
