	Wonder where that 2011 auction got their provenance? Since the bore is described as "original Winchester", and Zettler Bros. were known for re-rifling bores with the "Zettler method". I also own a Zettler schuetzen rifle built on a Ballard #6 with a Winchester barrel in .22 short, and re-rifled by Zettler Bros. Mine also has a Stevens scope mounted in HM Pope rings and bases. Neat little gun, and quite possibly a Zettler, but before I paid extra, I'd need to know for sure the provenance can be supported.

	No, mine is not marked. I've seen a couple others with Zettler rifling, and neither were marked. The rifling will indicate that the Zettler bros. had their hands on at least the barrel. Unsure how a complete gun can be documented, but sure hope somebody knows! HALP shows a rollstamp used on his site, but haven't seen one myself: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Seems to be more of them in the NE United States; which makes sense with their NY City location. Mine came from Maine or Vermont, from what the seller knew.

	Marked or not I would be 100% confident that is a Zettler from other examples on the net. Cheers to Laurie for recognizing it right away !

I too would agree it's Zettler style. Just don't know how to confirm that without some marking, or Zettler style rifling. Regardless, it's a great gun, and one well worth owning!
