OH MY GOSH - THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! 
Bruce - I do believe - you have now... Helped Enough.!!!..
(BTW - somehow I feel that the "accessories" will cost more than the gun..?? As an anology - and as I am happily married and therefore, I've been down this road before - where "accessories" cost a whole lot...  )

| Gordon Smith in Ohio sent me this picture for posting of his VH 20 ga damascus. Indeed a rare gun for damascus barrels on a V grade. No serial number was included. Attached Image (viewed 156 times):

| Gordon has some very interesting Parkers. The VH(e) shown appears to have aftermarket ejectors installed. What was the name of the company or gunsmith that did that work?

Richard, thanks for the lead. I'll probably try some. Re the 182 melting point, a few years ago it got so hot during dove season that I had six-packs of Diet Coke exploding inside the shell of my truck. White shell on a white truck. The thermometer in the cab showed an air temp of 180. That was the same day that my oil-finished Browning got all gooey with the wax.
I called back and ordered a quart of IBIZ wax. Very friendly service. I was worried about their usual UPS delivery as it's below 0 here some now and they just agreed to send it USPS instead, no problem. Saves me a few shekels also. Turns out their wax has been extensively freeze tested and it doesn't hurt it a bit. You just shake it up and it recombines as good as new. I'm looking forward to getting it. No telling what all I can find to use it on.

Richard, thanks for the tip. I ordered some Ibiz today to give it a try. I usually use Rennaisance or Bre-wax. The Rennaisance is a very fine wax that comes in a handy can with a screw off lid. The Bre-wax is what Dale uses because it is a little thicker and he says multiple coats will build up for added protection. But in the heat of Southwest Georgia summer, they both get a little gooey. I'm willing to try something new.

Be sure to let us and Robert at IBIZ know how it works for you. I'll do the same.

| Any wax that has bee wax in it will melt at temperatures as high as those we are talking about. In the defense of bee wax I will mention that small sculptural figures buried with the pharos made of bee wax show little change after all these years. I love the stuff and use a lot of it. It is a soft wax but is often mixed with carnuba wax for hardness and temperature resistance. Melt the two waxes together and remove from the stove, add turpentine to the mixture to make it a paste. Use this for everything! David
