Beautiful gun Brian! Great work as always. If you get the chance, can you post a pic up close of the side and plate engravings?
One of the dogs looks really good. Also, just out of curiosity with regards to what I can see of the dogs, what vintage/year was this gun ?

Brain One nice gun ! the difference between the dark stock in the before Picture and the stock and forearm in the picture after the DHE was cleaned up is unbelievable. What did you do or is it a trade secret ? Dan

No real secret. Acetone to clean it. And amber shellac for finish.

the stock may not be in the highly figured category- but I think it has a lot of subtle character
nice job as always

Here are close up photos of the engraving on this gun as requested by Bill.
I think the engraving work is a cut above the rest for a 1923 manufactured gun. The spots on the dogs have a look where it makes them just come alive in the light. Once I get the SSBP reblued on this gun, it could be any of you guys' to own as I will be putting it up for sale. IMG_7111.JPG IMG_7113.JPG IMG_7112.JPG IMG_7114.JPG

Brian, could you explain how you apply the amber shellac and are there multiple coats?
