Black Labradors on a blued gun look OK.

I can see that looking nice. For my eye, at a certain point, there gets to be a bit too much - even with vg engraving - but that's just me.
Do you happen to have a pic of a black lab on blue?
Cheers,
Jack

Reminds me of one of those camouflaged Bev Doolittle prints...you gotta look real hard to see it, and then when you do, you're still not sure.

Nothing on that gun does it for me....Sorry might be a nice gun just too gaudy...But that's me...... Sorta like the "Elvis" on the midnite blue velvet prints- But maybe Mr. Galazan is an "Exhibitionist" at heart--now a Blue Lab on a black background- sort of a Andy Warhol- Jackson Pollack and Edvard Munch collaboration-- All the engraving on a fine gun is fine if tasteful- but some of the German leaping unicorns and ruptured stags wearing trusses, or the Italians with their topless mermaids doing their Lady Godiva meets the Goddess of the Hunt for canolies and chianti at Luigi's- waaay too far over the top- I like the rose and scroll the Limeys like for their fine sidelocks-- but, since I can't afford anything quite like that, my lower graded doubles will just have to do, I guess- that big mallard that just dropped graveyard dead probably wouldn't have noticed anyway!!:rotf:

A nice piece of wood overshadowed by to much other stuff. Reminds me of a pretty girl with a Tammy Fae Baker make up job.

I have no opinion that all of Tony's high art creations are contracted jobs. It is obvious to me that Tony has a boatload of money and a staff and he is using some of that money to keep his staff employed by having them build spec guns. Does anyone have a better notion of what is going on? Give the guy a break.

A nice piece of wood overshadowed by to much other stuff. Reminds me of a pretty girl with a Tammy Fae Baker make up job.-- her dipstick con-man husband, Jim Bakker, hailed from Muskegon-- they had a good run with their "Water Slides for Jesus" Theme park- and one of my friends sent a ton of $ to them-- better invested in Parkers than "false promises"- and Tammy Fay, old Jimbo's wifey- got whopped with the biggest baddest ugly stick Revlon and Max Factor ever invented- But there is always a "flip side too" just as Adolph Hitler had his "Doppelganger"-- so did Jimmy Baker- he was a stand in for Jimmy Carter's dipstick brother Billy- so all was not lost I guess. All them fancy checken scratchins and gold in-lays, don't make the gun shoot any better- it is stock fit, balance and trigger pulls what make that happen-IMO:p:p:cool::rolleyes:
