After reviewing some of the older posts here I was inspired to dress up a couple of my Blasers. So with the help of Aholtz [a blaserbuds member] and Andre, the Blaser USA gunsmith I personalized my rifles, and they were only gone for two weeks.
The R8 is synthetic and I had the barrel channel widen to receive the wider safari barrels and added an ivory bolt knob with a sterling silver pin. Also added a whitetail scrimshaw grip cap.
The R93 is a standard prestige model with upgraded wood, I added a gold trigger,[inspired by tjbackdoc] a black bear scrimshaw grip cap, and a cocobolo wood bolt knob with a whitetail deer insert. Also changed the side plates [inspired by a corjack comment]to the whitetail on one side and the bear/ moose on the other. I like the changes, and I should have done it sooner. Aholtz has some nice grip caps and bolt knobs, and the stuff is better in person than what you think looking at it in pictures.

Aholz has some wonderful ideas and is a true craftsman.
Herewith some dressing up I did to an R 93 professional using Aholz's combination of Ebony and Tiger Eye:
