I think we have a budding Joseph Jurjevic,Slotterbeck or Fruend in our midst. I am really envious of your skill and imagination.Everyone that has seen Sean's Marlin just loves it.

Give Brian a few more projects and we'll see but Mr. Jurejevic was probably one of a kind.

Walter Eiserer is the closest anyone I know of to come close to Jurjevic work.

I once had a short correspondence with Mr. J. I believe it was concerning his double rifle built on a 28 gauge Parker. We never got to the point where he would build me one.

My dad owned that gun. It was originally built for Ed Spicer. It was a Two barrel set, the rifle being 38-55, the shotgun being 28 Ga. It was built from a pistol gripped VH28, and exquisitely engraved by John Warren.

My dad never shot it that I recall, and decided to sell it as it wasn't an original Parker. The Thursday night we took it down to Gary Herman's, Gary took it into the shop, and before our eyes, ran the stock through the band saw, and took the pistol grip right off (it was not an original Parker VH stock, but a triple X piece of French walnut. Before the shop closed that night, Walter had completely shaped the stock, fitted a straight grip trigger bow, and had begun the checkering.

Ed Spicer's middle initial was F, and I owned an Eduard Kettner Doublle rifle Ed had John Warren engrave. When I got it, I got a hold of Warren, who was in his late70s, at the time, and drove it out to the Cape, and while I waited, John altered the original gold initials ESF (the S being larger) on the floor plate to ESB, my initials.

Nice to see guns like that back on line.
Merrington did a light 12 grade 3 for me a while ago and it a great duck gun.
Built in 1874.
Congratulations!
