Gary, Thank you for the kind words. If the truth were ever to come out, I probably could have finished this case in time for Christmas, but knowing how special it was for you, I spent a lot of time just staring at it, and trying to get the details right.
For those of you who have seen this gun first hand, you will know what I mean; the rest will have to take my word for it; The wood work that went into the stock and fore end, and most especially the checkering, is so beautiful. Kudos to Chris Dawe for such an incredible job.
I noticed, as you all have also, that there are two marks on the inner lid, to the right of the trade label. They are not really there, but are the reflection of the flash off the tops of the gold snap caps.
