Default A1 Reproduction Custom Project

Hi all,
Thought I would share a project I started earlier this year - I purchased an A1 Reproduction - in the white - with the goal to have it custom engraved. After talking around a bit I was able to get on the list with Mr Geoffroy Gournet to do the engraving.

We traded sketches and then I made samples using photos I have of my dogs. Surprisingly tricky to find photos of the dogs that worked well on the gun layouts.

Shown below are some of the layout ideas we worked through. I wanted the gun to look like a Parker with the engraving and matching the A grade scroll work I have on another gun.

Also including a sample of completed work. Much more work to be done - but it is getting close enough to get excited now so thought I would share. Overall been a great project and worth the wait..
