	Thanks! Lovely old Low Wall, and very typical of Samuel Tobias stock work I've seen. He's not been given the credit he should, and his work is exceptional.

	There are a few old articles on Tobias. He was an interesting gunsmith and a great inventor. I think he held the patent that timed machine gun fire between the blades of our earliest military prop aircraft. I’ve seen a few Rolling Block pistols customized by Tobias as well.

Carl Gustav Swebelius invented the timing mechanism to prevent machineguns from shooting the props on airplanes when he worked for Marlin-Rockwell during WWI. Gus went on to start Hi Standard Firearms Co. around 1926 or so, after leaving Marlin.

Another overlooked firearms genius.

	It was a pleasure to see your photos. Thanks for sharing. Many moons ago I had a custom high wall built by Hal Hartley with a similar piece of curly maple. That was a varmint rifle chambered in .219 Donaldson Wasp. Curly

	"During WW I Tobias worked at McCook Field, now Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and developed a way to mount a machine gun on a biplane so the bullets would go between the propellers of the airplane rather than hitting the propellers." (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) ... slightly different than I wrote above but same outcome.
