DH 1927 HOME PROJECT BEFORE AND AFTER

[Bill Murphy]

I have known Thierry for many years. He did a wonderful engraving restoration on a sadly neglected prewar Browning Midas Grade. I selected him for the work because he is so experienced in gold inlay. My old Midas had quite a bit of missing gold. This gun is my most successful project. I purchased the gun for $1100 at a Baltimore auction. On my trips to his shop to check on the progress of the Browning, I would drop off a Craig Steketee skinner for him to decorate. I ended up with a great shotgun and three lovely engraved Damascus knives.
