AHE coming back to life
 

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.

Very nice Brian, who’s your engraver?





.

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.





.

Brian if you get a itch to part with that GH again I may make a road trip . The others are dreams come true !

Those three are definitely first stringers.

Man I like it when the floor plate has a buck or buck and a doe or two .

I love the "turnips" on that last one!





.

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.





.

All beautiful work, and the colors are great also!!

Ok it’s wrapped up and off for color, a peak at the wood.

I love the scroll coming off the hinge pin on that one!

Absolutely Brian. That is a beautiful flourish!





.

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

Case color done, gonna look great after about 10 years of use!

Exquisite work

Just really great.

Bravo! Congratulations to the sponsor and the craftsman.

Beautiful workmanship.

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.

I like the dogs running the deer...here in the south lots of folks used a double barrel to hunt deer with ive took a few deer with a double barrel myself..but none with such beautiful engraving as this.....charlie
