A 1 1/2 frame 12 isn't a light gun to begin with so the weight seems in range to me. I thought both sets of barrels were listed as 26 inch. If this were a 16 or a 20 it would be gone. Daisy needs a gun in her honor also

I've never weighed my 12 gauge reproduction, but I have a 12 gauge 28" 1 1/2 frame PH that weighs less than some 1 frame 16's.

I love the idea of custom shotguns built in tribute to someone’s bird dog.. Just shows the affect these dogs can have on people.

A few years ago, I couldn't afford to have a gun engraved with Freckles, my favorite Setter I ever owned, and Ruby, my first Vizsla, so I commissioned Mark Larson to paint them in gold leaf on the stock of a 16 hammer gun he put together for me....The three of us still on a least one hunt a year together, although those two never met in real life!

Well, I talked to them..

The risk of being to cheap on the engraving of an A1 is to "ruin" the gun and make its sale difficult . Above as exemple is this A1 blued , sold as cheap as its finish . Good it was possible to remove the finish .But if the customization is not at least as nice than the factory or not done in the style , it may not be a good idea . That should be done for the pleasure , not for the investment .

Being too cheap with the engraving could make the resale very difficult , like at first it appeared with this A1 custom blued .
