Thanks Bill, I prefer double triggers too. The wood is fairly plain European walnut, has a dark oil stain like earlier British shotguns. Inletting & checkering is good but not great for a sidelock shotgun. Today's AYAs seem to have nicer wood figure, a glossier finish, and overall better fit & finish, but are much more expensive. IMO the engraving today is not quite as fine and may be done with a machine except on higher grades, but I'm no expert on these.
