Notice that even the hidden parts of the gun are delicately engraved. Vault-like closing. Last edited by Daryl Hallquist; 08/20/25 10:17 AM. http://www.bakercollectors.com/

It will take very little to get it into shape. Those are some of the clearest proof house stampings I’ve seen in a long time. A good barrel cleaning and inspection and you should be right as rain. That’s a nice old gun, well cared for. CZ, Just curious as to how you could arrive at such a thorough assessment of this piece from three photos, with none of the buttstock, forend, top or bottom of the frame, or an entire barrel/bores photo? It appears to me to be a decent old brown gun of good lineage, with some potential to be freshened up to a certain point short of full restoration, and nothing more, just by the three photos given.

I will follow up the contacts and links provided with enthusiasm. I will also post more pictures when I get a chance. As far as I know the gun has sat in storage unused for more than half a century. I would like to give it the care and attention it deserves. Daryl Hallquist, that is a really nice example, more figuring than mine. There’s something about that aged patina and craftsmanship from another era, very nostalgic.

I also have What I believe is a Paragon, originally with Damascus barrels but then sleeved in England. I would like to know when they stopped using Damascus on that gun. Both are really wonderful guns to shoot and both fit me better than any of my other guns. _________ BrentD, (Professor - just for Stan) =>/
