This is not the first maker that I have haven’t been able to identify, normally it’s one rifle from a regional maker and good quality. Not only is the workmanship above average (IMO) with this maker but I now have information on three rifles. Of the three, I have personally examined two and have good pictures of the third. Because one of the rifles has a heel and toe plate my thought was that whoever made these might have a background with or worked with shotguns as well as rifles.
These rifles are in the style of Fred Adolph and August Pachmayr with the stock carving incorporating the checkering as well as metal engraving. With all the gunsmiths, gunmakers and engravers now visiting this site I felt it was worthwhile for more folks to have a look. There is no right or wrong answers, if something jumps out at you, speak up. I’ll try to answer any questions with the exception of who the owners are. I’ll refer to the rifles as No, 1, 2 & 3.
