A shooting buddy has a wonderful 2-bbl. set that has (of all things!) a cork cheekpiece that looked so right that we decided it couldn't be wrong. I carried it up to Babe's on one of my many "mystery tours" to the Mohawk Valley and we sat down and spent time with the gun. Bob Runge blew in while we were looking at it and said, "Oh, no! Not another one of those things!" He said he always was fascinated by them because you could attach notes to them with stick pins if need be while you worked on the gun. Both of them agreed it was factory original work.
