This old gal was in disrepair, worn engraving, stock broke in half at the wrist, screws were a mess. It’s starting to come back alive.

The work is being done by Dawe, Dubois and Lemieux. A few examples of work they have done for me.

I didn't get the name, or forgot it, of the fellow Chris sent my skeleton butt plate, trigger guard and screws to but I was very pleased with the result.

You're in rare company Craig... a lot of folks wonder why the heck there are deer or elk engraved on a bird gun. I could never figure it out but I do appreciate the art.

And turnips flying over that scroll too. Brilliant work. That scroll rolls off the pin elegantly. Stunning work.

Very nice! Can’t wait to see the final product. Do you have any “before” pics?

If you'd want, I'd be happy to use it for 5 years and would help mute the colors for you. Just sayin':whistle:

Every time I see the gun, it gets better and better.
