A pair of A1 special customs

[GH-16]

Spectacular would be an understatement!

The wood quality & figure is something I've always wondered about on repro A-1 specials & B-grades and these guns point this out well. Even though I've seen several of these higher-grade repro's with nice wood, most of them I've observed have had similar wood which is more commonly found on D-grade guns and I've always wondered why better figured wood wasn't used on the top end offerings.

When looking at the before & after pictures my observations ring true. The original wood on it's own is very nice and I would love to have either of those on a D-grade repro, but IMO they do fall short for A-1's. The owner of these guns must have felt the similar about them.

I'm in awe of how well this project came together and the talent of the craftsmen who brought these two guns to the level where they are today! I salute everyone involved and thank you for taking the time to share them with us! They are the epidemy of fine craftsmanship & gun artistry!!
