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.

Calvin has invented a new term. Nit Picking is the undo concern for insignificant details. Net picking must, therefore, be the undo concern for insignificant details of items as seen on the internet.

Here is a 16/20, both 30", on a 1 frame from the safe. Net or nit pick away, your choice. I am rather fond of it.

But how do you undo undo concern? Delete? Or would that be undue concern?
