Virtual Upgrades tent display

[Brian Dudley]

I just had an idea.

Since the Southern is kaput.

Why don't we all post quality photos of all of the upgraded guns that we were going to bring to the PGCA tent to display?

That way we can still share them with each-other.

Well I was able to take some pictures between rain showers. I bought this Pachmayer upgrade on the Rock Island Auction in fall of 2018. It came out of the Pachmayer estate. It was originally a 30" vhe 16 ga. It is now upgraded to a BHE .

This one is more subtle. It is a ghe 20 ga. with 32" barrels. It letters as a ghe 30" damascus gun. It came out of the Pachmayer estate also. The special stamp appears
in the place of Vulcan. It is obvious that both guns were restamp with the same letter stamps.

Note that they ground off the rib and reengraved to make the doll's head fit.

What gauge is that bad boy ?

[JAMES HALL]

Sixteen.

[PAUL PLUNKETT III]

Bill I am not sure if it's Shelly's gun. I have owned it 12yrs. Posting a picture of shield looks to have F in script. I found this gun at Griffin and Howe .

[CraigThompson]

Sixteen.

How does the engraving on this one compare to the original ?

[JAMES HALL]

Way different. Original is very deep relief.

[charlie cleveland]

very nice guns...words dont show the beauty of these guns...charlie

[CraigThompson]

Way different. Original is very deep relief.

If you don’t mind saying , who did the engraving on the upgrade ? I suppose you’d call that arabesque ?

[JAMES HALL]

Pachmayr

I’d normally ask if you’re headed our way anytime soon . But I know that’s a big nope and I don’t leave the house much now !

[Mike Koneski]

Better not let Susan know I'm surfing GUN PORN!!!!!!! :shock::shock::shock:

[Bill Murphy]

Paul, Runge normally engraved very clear initials on Shelly's guns. However, the Monte Carlo was his choice, like on my SAA that Runge did for Shelly.

[Chuck Bishop]

Paul, that SBT is gorgeous!
