OP kcordell Sidelock Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 265 Mid-Atlantic	Hi does anyone have any information on this manufacture? I picked up a pretty high-grade example of this in 10 gauge. I can't seem to find any information on this manufacturer anywhere but again I am very impressed with the quality of This gun. I took a quick picture the post here but please excuse it's as it's a little dirty. Additional photos Last edited by kcordell; 11/21/12 07:12 PM.

They are nice guns aren�t they ? I have not found out much about them, so I am interested in learning more on this thread. I have not figured out how to dismount the barrels ? Below is a link to some information I came across about them. http://shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=274729 Last edited by postoak; 11/21/12 06:25 PM. Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

They look to be a very nice "Turkish Star" pattern with alternating black and white stars between the scrolls. This is Dr Gaddy's (slightly out of focus ) example. Any maker's mark forward of the flats? Last edited by Drew Hause; 11/21/12 06:38 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

The machining of the action was silky smooth, absolutely beautiful. I do not recall a lot of engraving, but I was in awe of the silky smooth action. Congratulations on yours. Does it have the swivel opening action? Rich
