Gournet as compared to another

[Big D]

Brian -Thanks. I missed the fact that the gun was not fitted to the stock. Great stuff

[mobirdhunter]

Separate but equal in my eyes. Both beautifully executed.

Geoffroy is an artist! Brian, just how long did it take for that action to be fully engraved?

I remember this thread from years ago, and had the same thought as Bob. The three trigger plate screws have Two G (squiggles to Brian) which makes sense to me knowing the engravers name was Geoffroy Gournet

I’m sorry, but these just don’t look equal to me. Double click and compare, if you need to.

[B. Dudley]

Exactly Dave. Not even in the same world. Thanks for expending and hopfully making it obvious.

After spending a career studying and helping others learn about aesthetics, I should have known better than to comment on those guns.

But, let me be clear: Gournet is as fine an engraver as there is today, and Brian's gun is a masterwork. If I wanted a custom engraved gun, I would seek Gournet's work...period.

[B. Dudley]

it was maybe 6-8 months. I do not recall.

[Mike of the Mountain]

Not a bad turn-around time for all that meticulous engraving.

I thought I would add a pic of ORIGINAL Parker engraving on a BHE from 1921.
