Here’s my rendition of the Lion & Lamb gun. I made some changes from the original as if it may be another from the CS shop with C. Oerter having more hands on. The wire work being in the style of Oerter as well as the slight swelling at the rear pipe. Oerter styled sideplate and absence of the Moravian star at the cheek piece as you’ll see occasionally on Oerter’s guns. It has a Rice 41″ EDL barrel in .54 caliber, 1 3/16″ at the breech with a rapid taper in the first 8″ or so with a slight flair at the muzzle. Chambers Virginias lock. Supper dense flame figure sugar maple stock originated from Tiger Hunt. All the brass was cast locally. The box master courtesy of Mr. Kettenburg. Trigger pull is right at 13 3/4″. Weight is 9 3/4 lbs. The weight is mainly in the buttstock with the buttplate and heavy cast box plus the weight of the super dense maple. The balance point is about 3″ behind the rear sight. Price $4075 + shipping.
