Used on a fancy Jaeger hunting rifle, the comb of this buttplate is asymmetric, ( this means that the sides on the comb are NOT the same. They are not symmetric ) in shape of an acanthus leaf, a popular baroque motif. Polish the comb and engrave it with baroque or rococo shells, scrolls or foliage. A few simple lines are typical of early American folk art engraving.
This buttplate would serve on an elegant transitional longrifle, or on a long fowler with Germanic features. The long comb can be shortened or reshaped to create other styles, although our #BP-Jaeg-4 is intentionally made with a blank comb for that purpose.
This buttplate is pre-inlet into our acanthus leaf style Jaeger rifle stock. Our #TG-Jaeg-22 has matching finials.
Available in wax cast brass or steel.
Overall length 4-7/8", width 2-1/16", comb 6".
