Yeah, David, 29 in the door, and looking for more. That's a bit of a poem?

David, your engraved gun is over the top. Is this factory engraving?

James, some of my nicest 42s are Compensator guns, including Deluxe and Trap Grades.

The bottom picture of my 1938 skeet choke gun, with #5 engraving is factory and most likely engraved by John Kusmit. The gun is 100% original.

The 2nd 42, 2 barrel set with # 5 engraving was engraved by Angelo Bee. I use to do some stock work for Angelo & he engraved many of my guns.
