Hello - I have a rifle has a fair amount of engraving - and on the magazine floor plate is engraved the name W. B. Gard. I do not know if this is the name of a gunsmith - engraver - or the person for whom the rifle was built. The person whom I bought the rifle from said he thought the rifle was "smithed" by a trade school in Colorado - but that may not be factual. Any information about this individual would be appreciated. Many Thanks in advance - AQH

This information added from 11b6r:
"In addition to the Trinidad State Junior College smithing program, there is a long standing program in the Denver area (Lakewood)- Colorado School of Trades. Training gunsmiths since 1947."

I called the number given me by forgemonkey - but they are closed until after the new year. As soon as I find the number for the school suggested by 11b6r - I will give them a call after the holidays.

Any information gleaned will be sent to Locust Fork so the rifle can be listed on the auction side. Many thanks for the help - AQH
