Believe the photo of the smith is August Pachmayer in his shop late 50's or 60's. He had the reputation of "Master Gunmaker" and his work was highly regarded. My smith has done very nice work opening chokes for me on two guns sleeved full and full. Set to light modified and a bit over modified. Perfect for birds in the field and they are working really well on the clays course from close in to far out. Centered clays are crushed and they allow the gun mount with no rush for field shooting. I do not open chokes on original barrels and do not like to change from the constriction they came with. 43 and 45 points was just stupid tight and really needed something done.
