Looks like “ S-Man” has been identified. Anyone here ever heard of Wibener?

The stock work on the rifle Michael shows in photo #2 bears great resemblance to the Morphy auction rifle. It's not the same rifle but I had to look back and forth a time or two to confirm that.

The gun for sale is no 4 in Michaels thread. He did a lot of research on the names given him by the 2 guys who owned this rifle as each seemed to spell it differently. I had seen the rifle many times but was never able to see the markings in the barrel channel.

Not one of Kornbrath's finer engraving jobs, if in fact it is his work. IMO

How can you tell from these pictures it's difficult to see any detail in the engraving

I’ve owned quite a few examples of Kornbrath’s work and studied many, many more. It’s amazing how much engraving is attributed to him that he never touched.
