Michael, To own or even possess such items makes you one very lucky S.O.B. and I mean that in the very nicest possible way. I can only dream of owning even a single tool like those you have shown. Harry Only a little luck involved ;-) I spent years tracking this stuff down. Most was never for sale, the tool room 1913 was left to me when the owner passed. I traced Mr. Niedner's scrap book and photo album to a small town in Indiana. I found them in the basement at the bottom of a pile of old shirts in an apple box. Later when I was talking with the owner upstairs I saw the 1912-Shelhamer propped up next to a desk. I never told anyone what I saw in the green house used as a planter ;-).

I have one case forming die, round bodied like the one shown in the second photo under the .28/30-22 marked tool. It appears to be a .25-35.
Also S & W "Bekeart" model, serial #2, with A O Niedner, Malden barrel and a Third Model S @& W single shot with that marking but no obvious modifications.

Speaking of Niedner stuff and I understand this is a long shot (pun intended) but I've been trying to locate the owner of this rifle. First off the rifle is in Australia and I understand that it's a big place ;-), The rifle was originally made and sent there by Niedner from Malden, Mass.. It came up at auction a few years go and I was outbid, happens all the time.

Niedner also made some neat stuff when he was in Dowagiac.

Dr. Baker's .25-HP that Niedner built for him using a Borchardt action.

Michael, why the added knob to the, at least it looks this way, striker? Was the Borchardt self cocking retained or was that eliminated as part of the customization. Just curious.
