I have a .22 lr. M16 made by Jaeger in Italy. It's an M16 copy. Way fun for a plinker but it's probably a different Jaeger.

The Paul Jaeger you're asking about is/was from Pennsylvania. Apparently he was originally from Germany and brought his old-world craft to this country. (Jaeger is "hunter" in German.)
This guy built custom guns as well as did custom work. Some of his stuff is "high-dollar !!" |

Can't give specifics except that examples like the items as you describe, built by good custom riflesmiths, are going up in value, and are likely to increase in value as time goes by. Until there are no riflemen/hunters/etc. left to appreciate same.

Paul Jaeger
211 Leedom St. Jenkintown, Pa Sometime in the mid ‘90s they merged (?) with Dunn’s POBox 449 1 Madison Ave Grand Junction, TN 38039 Tel901-764-6909 Fax901-764-6503 I think this happened after the death of Paul Jaeger. There is no current contact info that I can find on either. Some of the high-end dealers are getting big bucks for nice Paul Jaeger rifles |

OooohhhMaGawd!
After wandering through the Paul Jaeger art at [url]http://test.jcdevine.com/preview.htm[/url],,,, I've decided that I'm never going slumming at AuctionArms, or GunBroker auctions again! [i]Yeah, right.[/i] BTW, there's plenty of links there - it looks like you could get in touch with the family, company, or at least someone who REALLY knows this artist's work. "J.C. Devine Inc. is pleased to announce that our July 22, 2001 sale will include a collection of TEN custom rifles made by Paul Jaeger, Inc. for one of their best customers. Many of these are "Signature Grade Rifles" made after Dietrich Apel took over management of the company from his uncle Paul Jaeger, and includes the gold inlaid rifle built to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the company. All ten of these rifles feature engraving and gold inlay with animal figures by the renowned engraver Claus Willig. This auction will also include a large selection of scarce and collectible machineguns and accessories. These will include 27 live firearms fully transferable on ATF Form 3 or Form 4. The sale will also include several registered Dewat machine guns in exceptionally clean condition transferable without tax on ATF Form 5. Some states that prohibit ownership of live machine guns permit their residents to own Dewats, in addition these guns may be reactivated by qualified individuals. Among these guns are two WWI German Maxim MG 08/15's; A WWI Lewis gun made by Savage Arms; A WWII British Sten; A German MP-40; A French Chauchat Model 1915; A British Hotchkiss MK I in 303; And a British Browning MK II. All NFA rules will apply. We expect more Class 3 items will be added to this sale in addition to the several hundred lots of military, sporting and collectible firearms and militaria already scheduled. In addition to the Jaeger rifles and collectible machineguns, this sale will include several........ " |
