Good Eye Hart on those Choppers..... I failed to mention it. Stout Platform as Jtplumb notes and a Best Gun @ the very least. Ah, it seems it went to an Artisan-Collector in Suhl.

Hart, I well know you are an Addict of Scherping wares and that you have sought um therapy / counsel, but this was a Must See.....

Better orientation of Ampersand stamps

Too, there had to be just a handful, or actually a couple of Barrel Smiths that specialized in Chopperlump Tubesets.

I've been reading this thread as it goes along, and I have to comment on the wood. Number one, I hope it isn't original, because I think my opinion of the builder would drop if he thought that the carved band added anything to the gun. However, based on my almost 50 years of trying to butcher good walnut, I think it is obvious just due to grain and color on the left side that this is two totally different pieces of wood. The right side however is where it is obvious, even though the match is much better. The wood is not well sealed and filled, and notice the surface of the wood forward of and behind the carved line. The forward wood has pores running along the suface in a front to back direction and present as tiny half-grooves. The pores behind the carving are oriented perpindicular to the surface. The entire surface structure is totally different from one side of the division to the other. I have never in all my woodfinishing seen that occur on walnut. The only way it is possible is that the wood grain is not oriented in the same direction. It is a good job of hiding the joint but it has to be an extension.

AGS, I have probably seen over 100 Scherping guns, no 2 exactly alike & have never seen a carved stock such as this one. That carving was done at a later date. m-4

Yep, I own one and given the quality I can't imagine them doing something like this.
