Thank you for sharing your gun.

It has many interesting features based on my observations.

The side scenes extending all the way to the frame scuplting around the axle cover screw is interesting. A good example of how all bets are off on the engraving of these high grade guns. Every one is truely one of a kind.

I suspect that the stock on this gun may have been worked over since it does not have flur-de-lis drop points on it. But instead more of a D/C type pont. But still not quite right looking. And the checkering looks recut.

I noticed that also, but it's hard to imagine (not being a wood guy) how there's enough wood in a Fleur-De-Lis to get a drop point, unless it was taken deeper into the stock.

The seen on the trigger plate reminds of Winston Churchill's bronze of "Masters Reward". He used my friend Rich Frutchy's setter and a grouse ,that I do not recall were he got the grouse, to produce the bronze wax model. Regardless, this a is spectacular A that anyone would be proud to own.

Congratulation on your purchase and thanks for sharing.

I suspect it was moved up. See how far away the checkering border is from the point. It ahould be tighter.
