I have seen about three identical floor plates on other 7mm by G&H.
I tried to scan the plate to make it bigger but that did not work. I'll try to take a picture of it after I go play in the snow. http://www.borealisbroadband.net/Vid-Sheraton1.htm

Mike, thanks. Is the above engraving from a ca.WWll gun ? The small pictures that we are able to post don't show alot of detail, but the above engraving looks a bit shallower than what we usually associate with Kornbrath. Is that how it looks in person ? When did Fugger start working on Griffin and Howe guns ?

The rifle is circa 1923. I have it on good authority that the 'Swede' worked from 1928-1932 at G&H. More information is on the way. Even if he worked at G&H then he might have done work for G&H before that so he is still in the running. Kornbrath always worked out of his own place.

Michael,

A year or two ago Champlins had two G&H rifles for sale, listed as engraved by Swensen. One was a 30-06 the other a 375. I have the photos saved here somewhere if you didn't catch them at the time they were up on the Champlins web page.

Stu,

I do remember at least one from there and I have seen several that folks have said were done by him. Hopefully some answers will surface in the coming days. When I get it I'll post what I have and we can go after his information.
