I was thinking the same as Brian. Why not just get someone to engrave the hammers ?

I have decided to restore the gun. Soooo....now i need to figure that part out....is the best idea to entrust it to one gunsmith to do his part, and coordinate the project with other specialists,thru completion?

Brad Bachelder can do all the work necessary for a total restoration. I've used him for a couple of guns and have always been happy. It's also nice he's only a two hour drive away. His phone number is 1-616-459-3636. Here's his web site http://www.mastergunmakers.com/

I have guns built by one person, and I have guns built by seven or eight people. I am very happy with all of them. I don't know many stockmakers who are acceptable engravers.

Don't own a hammer shotgun. But I think it wouldn't take long to get use to.
They just look right. :-)

I enjoy shooting and hunting with a hammer gun more than I like using a hammerless.

Shot about 220 doves this early season, 80% with various hammer guns from 28 to 10 bore, the balance with my little DeHaan .410. Been gravitating that way the last 5 years or so.
