Default WORN OUT DH SKELETON RECUT

I wonder how a skeleton buttplate can be so worn out and not match the rest of the gun. This one had seen salt water use and most engraving was worn down and after I took the Dremel tool to it to get the majority of the rust and pits out which left No engraving I had Thierry Duguet engrave it from photos I had taken. Excellent work on not so perfect metal. But it will match the gun.

A very nice job of engraving. Very grade 3 Parker-like.
