Default Restored GH Damascus

Recently received my 1895 GH Damascus barrels back from Brad Bachelder for refinishing. Pictures are not the greatest but I think everyone will get the idea of the before and after and the quality of Brad's work. (I am still working on getting that new camera Mr. Cronkite)

No, Brad did just the barrels. I acquired the gun with the stock already refinished.

Brad did the barrels on - Serious Cleanup Project- and I couldn't be happier. I also had the trigger guard reblued and the triggers replated. All the work was great and I felt price was fair. Quality of work excellent. Turned an old hammer gun into a prized pocession.
