Nice Hiwall!!   Looks like it might have some nice wood on it too. What caliber is it? Ive got a ballard thats had the sides of the breechblock jeweled, it really looks nice. Also have a hammerless Sharps with breechblock jeweled It looks better than the ballard. Are you going to sell the hiwall?   Joe.

Not bad really.  Are those frame sides blued or were they left bright?

Ben, we must be looking at different hiwalls.  Can you post a full size picture of the rifle?  If you dont like the jeweling on the sides of the frame, it can be removed easy enough. I have a ballard gallery rifle with Parkenfarker engraving. Much harder to remove than the jeweling on your rifle.    Joe.

I had a friend that bought a Stevens 44 action that had AWFUL "engraving" on it. We stripped the action, put it on a belt sander and sanded it level. Then, he used several different grits of sandpaper backed by plate glass and ended up with a VERY nice Stevens 44 .22 rimfire.
