Good Morning   Do any of you fellow collectors have any photos, written material, references, etc on Alf Rieckhoff aka Malvern who was a shooter and trick shot artist many years ago?  I would appreciate any info.

May-June 1995 ASSRA NEWS. Also see American Rifleman April 1952 article by C.T. Westergaard  " my days in the schutzen game" Talks about competing against Al. The Pope rifle came from Archer Jackson to me thru auction then to Wes Miller to Ray Day to Gary Quinlin to ???????? You? Sure sorry I sold it.

Guys   Many thanks for the photos and info.  Yes, I do have it in my collection along with medals, etc.  Don't have some of the photos posted and I appreciate seeing them.

Wondering did you get the scope with Pope mounts and the shooting box as well as the letter detailing street address and location in house where it was located originally? All that was nearly lost when Sothbys sent accessories out to local gun shops to sell.

Tom   Got the kit with tools, several medals, photos, ramrod,  shooting card, etc.  Gary had put on a Pope lever but the repaired broken lever is still with the rifle.  Quite an outfit.  I'll try to post some photos when time permits.
