28g VH restoration
I just completed this restoration of a VH 28g. It is on an 00 frame. The gun was a pretty honest gun to start with. It just had no case color remaining, it looked like is was removed or something. And the stock was cut down pretty short.
The owner wanted the gun brought back to like new condition with new wood that was upgraded some from original.
I did that for him by restocking it and restoring all metal finishes. I was also able to save the original stock shield which had a pretty cool christmas gift inscription on it.
The engraving was touched up in spots by Geoffroy and the case color was done by Turnbull.

Brian, one of the nicest resto jobs i have seen! I had the same gun but on a 0 frame, very early gun that someone rested a lit cigarette on the side of the stock (my guess was while tying a boot lace or taking a leak) and had cut it to 13 1/2'' LOP. i had it restocked and got a bump up to better wood, not unlike your job here. Very nice work!
