I inherited an early style Lancaster rifle and am trying to make the best choices to repair the inleted area left after removing it. Originally, the builder inleted an oval german silver federal eagle, which I know is incorrect on style rifle. Does anyone know if an appropiate "filler" for the hole left when the eagle flew away might be a bone inlay with scrimshaw hunter's star. The oval left after the eagle departed is a bit too large for a silver hunter's star. Studying historical examples is a great idea but I thought with the vast knowledge base in this forum someone may have a helpful answer to this question.
