135566 GH needed a friend and found it in me

[Brian H]

Another lost soul that just needed nursed pack to health. A nice GH straight grip 30" with factory recoil pad. The pistol grip has a repairable break and also a tang extension. All the important screws are nice. The damascus barrels have been blued but are near PERFECT in and out. I am looking forward to saving this old boy for years of enjoyment. What is interesting is the depth of engraving, when I put this next to other Gr 2's I have, they look like shallow scratches compared to these deep cuts. I like this gun!!!

This one is in the serialization book as a V H 0 C 12 30, but the gun below it matches this so I assume a typo.

Happy days, see some of you in Vegas!

Can you tell us what the rib inscription is ?? Are the bbls. Damascus or fluid steel ?? You are very lucky and I really love stories about guns like this. Thanks, Mark

They are damascus with double ivory beads. Hard to believe with the beat up stock that they are in as good a shape as they are.

Looking forward to seeing the finished gun. The engraving is great.
