Default A family heirloom NID

I just finished up a full restoration on this NID 12g field for the owner to keep in his family.

Stocked in the factory style using curly American walnut. The extensive fine surface pitting in the metal was all polished out and the top lever replaced due to a damaged original one. All new screws. The frame engraving was restored by Turnbulls house engraver before they case hardened it. I recut the breech engraving before rust bluing and I nitre blued all of the small parts.

I may have the gun for display at the NE SxS. I am not sure yet. But check it out if I do.
