First is a rifle that I believe my grandfather had built after he returned from WW-II....being a German-American he found himself stationed in the Aleutian Islands.....go figure....

The only marking I can find anywhere is "30.06" stamped on the barrel on the left side next to the receiver. Anyone have any idea as to a builder or manufacturer....

Second is a little Winchester Model 62....I shot my first turkey with this rifle when I was 13.....




Last is an item that was found on my great-great grandfathers farm near Captiola, ....the farm was lost during the depression.

Beautiful inlays.

Bet your son is chomping at the bit for that 30-06.
