I just checked "Americans and Their Guns" 13 citations so looks like there will be lot of info on Waller.

Very interesting family. Has this rifle passed out of family hands?

I guess that is simply the way of life. The NRA now has Dad Farr's '03. They do get sold off by grandsons and granddaughters.

That is a truly outstanding rifle... it would be great to find a picture of it being presented to him or records of him having it finished. I would expect there were limited gunsmith houses at the time that would have been doing that kind of work. I may have missed it in an early post, but you may already know that info. From the web I see that he was the USA Shooting Team Captain from 22-24. Thank you for sharing.

As I have said before, I highly recommend Michael's wonderful book entitled, Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century.
