LC Smith Chain Damascus 10 Gauge Grade 2

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Eric,

This is the wood the gun left the factory with in 1901.

When received, one could press their finger on the head of the stock and get oil on their finger.
Brad Bachelder used a process to boil the oil out of stocks. I am continually impressed by Brad's innovation to employ new methods to restore these fine old guns.

PS: I do wish Parker had used Chain Damascus for their barrels!

Respectfully,
Mark

Stunning restoration. Beautiful work. Now, will it see the marshes, lakes, rivers and streams next season??
Cheers,
Jack
