I'm working on the ID of a oldie that I've had for a few years, having no luck! I though that maybe the style of work might lead me in a direction. The gun has silver inlay's that are nailed in place. I know I have seen this done before but can't remember when or where. Can anyone tell me when this way of attaching inlays was used, a area of the country or hopefully any makers?
