The "J. P. Pooh Bear" (BECK, 1976)

My friend, Ernie "Big Bear" Tschanz was engaged and wanted a present for his bride in time for the wedding on January 29, 1977. I made a J. P. Beck rifle, and on the cheek piece, inlaid in silver, Winnie the Pooh, dipping into his honey pot. Doc Andy Baker called it "the finest J. P. Pooh Bear rifle he had ever seen!"
