As noted earlier in this thread, an important part of this deal was the making of a new safety button in the Metiden high grade style. Geoffroy did a great job engraving the button and tang.

Here is another photo of the frame from the side. I was visiting Geoffroy yesterday briefly when I was in his area to drop off some other work. I had the chance to see the completed frame in person. It is fantastic! He is working on the small parts now.

I am in awe of the creativity, design and artistry involved in the creation of something like this.The ability to conceive and execute this is an under appreciated art which in my opinion is equal or more difficult to anything on canvas.

Brian,

Are you going to case color or French grey the frame. The engraving looks fantastic!

Case color. I really do not care for French gray.

Default Stock of a 16 guage Parker

I have a reproduction question. The stock on my Parker 16 guage, VH, 0, serial number 174,124, Vulcan steel is in excellent shape. The pics attached show the condition. Does this matter if not the original?

You should start your own thread on the topic instead of bombing in on other peoples.

I absolutely LOVE the little leaf details around the middle screw holes on the buttplate.
