Thank you for the compliments everyone. It was a fun project and I learned a lot. About the only way I will ever be able to afford a high end gun is to buy them "junked out" and do the restoration myself to get them back into shooting condition.
Fortunately, Atkin, Grant and Lang still have the records on Joseph Lang guns, and I was able to get a research letter on mine. Not nearly as thorough as our Parker research letters, but records still exist as to the date it was completed, basic gun configurations, and the original purchaser.
Now on to the fun part. I am hoping to get some serious shooting time with it in the next couple of weeks, then off to the grouse and woodcock coverts this fall.
