The first a very early G&H 03 with a Fugger engraved floorplate and trigger guard, the second a Shelhamer .270 on a commercial mauser. Thanks to another forum member for pointing out the fact that the floorplate is signed by Fugger, I would never have caught it. More to come. John

Makes little since to me to commission a new custom. Hunt with vintage classics. The right of the people to keep & bear arms shall not be infringed.

I've attributed a couple of engraved guns to Fugger, just can't look to closely for identifiers but it's good to see his mark in a specific and "normal" location. Would love to see more pics (but I know you are a busy man).

But it had a G&H letter which was done with just the G&H number as identification. The gun didn't even have the features the letter stated. Letter said it had Alaskan scope and recoil pad but the gun didn't have any mount for a scope and had a steel BP. Plus I have the G&H rifle with that number that does have the correct features that came from RIA 12 years ago. Dan

Clicking on the thumbnail does not enlarge it as much as hovering over it with your mouse. I agree with Dan that lot # 3637 is not a G&H rifle. John
