These are the almost completed pictures; he was working on the trigger guard this past weekend and was expecting to have the gun to me later this week. We have 5 more weeks of Pheasant season here in NS, so I am hopeful to get this out for some fun. With 28 inch barrels and chokes of IM and Full, I think this will be a great gun for pheasants.

The first two pictures are after the first coat of finish, well before any re-cutting of lines and checkering. They indicate how beautifully the wood is figured.

I will take some additional pictures when the gun arrives and post for comparison.

Chris Dawe completed this work. In his words "one of the dirtiest guns I have ever seen", but aside from a safety spring, it was mechanical sound. He sends the metal to Oscar Kob for case colour hardening.

I think I am going to be very happy.
