Here is a pair of Gournet Engraved repro A1 specials that I just finished restocking for the owner. The straight grip was engraved in 2011 and the pistol grip gun was engraved in 2024. Both are 12g 2 bbl sets. The 2011 gun is done much more traditionally and the 2024 gun is coined the “woodcock gun” for obvious reasons.
In both cases the factory wood was replicated in much nicer quality walnut and the checkering was all cut to be much more elaborate than factory repro A1s, much more like the original Meriden guns.
In both cases the metal work was already done, so I had to work around the metal finish when restock them, much more care is taken when doing this.
You can see here also photos of the wood that came off the guns. In comparison to the new.
