Gorgeous. That wrist checkering looks a bit like the work of Fordney, one of the later period, Lancaster School masters. Any relation?

As my dad and I wanted something we can use in the field, we had Allan Sandy build this for us. Per the question on the wrist checkering, which is something I have admired on period guns, we requested this option this as well as some other items I will show when I get better pics.

While I am not really a hardcore flintlock or period gun person, I have always found interest in doubles. Having had a lot of fun with a 150 yr old percussion gun the last 2 years with dove, I thought this would be an interesting route. I have to blame much of this obsession on the fun I have experienced with Parkers and others which led to this fascination with doubles and BP.

One more rather bad picture.




Here is pic of another gun he did similar but with other unique features. Again, I will post better pics later.
