A beautiful Ballard.

I came across this rifle the other day whilst researching something else.

If any of you wealthy gents out there have any cash left after Christmas, you may like to spend it on this rifle. Note it is built for a southpaw. Damn, I never come across these rifles when I have any cash.  Wink

See:- http://www.hallowellco.com/alvin_white%20ballard.htm

If you can't afford it, at least admire the quality of the workmanship. I particularly like the fore-end, a beautifully laid out and fitted black Ebony schnable tip.

Enjoy

Beautiful rifle, great workmanship, a work of art. One thing wrong with it, it's not a Borchardt!

I have to agree, it's not a Borchardt, but it's as close as it is possible to get, when it comes to good looking actions.

Intended to be a serious squirrel rifle.  I wonder if it ever went hunting?
