I think you will enjoy the one you got.

I like the more coarse checkering for a field gun. Wet/cold hands, gloves and all. I have seen a couple of Dickson round body guns with rather coarse checkering, original from the house....

Frank, my gun was built in 1984 so it is a relatively late gun. The forend does seem thin and fits my hand well.

Steve, good find. You won't be disappointed

Interesting what one finds when one isn't looking to find anything in particular.
