Hi all,
I'm cross posting this so I apologize if you've seen it on another forum. I'd just really like to get to the bottom of this mystery!
The work is really top notch but unfortunately, it's not named anywhere.
Sedgley and Stoeger as well as Griffin and Howe come to mind as custom Krag-smiths, so I scoured the web for some pictures of Krags refurbished by them.
By importing these images in AutoCad, I was able to "trace" the stock, scale it, and overlay it to my stock.
In this imgur album, I've included pictures of this Krag as well as my overlays.

(You need to Login to view media files and links)I see no markings anywhere (even under the buttplate) to indicate who did the work. Note the brass plate under the trigger guard. That's taking up the slack in the trigger. Clever!
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I can get more pictures of course.
Thanks for any leads on this!
