I believe the damage to the parts or whatever was in this country, probably New Jersey. As far as wood layout goes, most I have seen have been pretty well laid out English style walnut with rather nice streaking front to back. Some of the Juglans Nigra that Skeuse used was so outrageously fancy that it would have been hard for anyone to lay out perfectly. I'm sure that thousands of owners are more than just pleased with Skeuse's choice of wood for their guns as well as the layout. Recent purchasers have been "not quite avoiding" 28 gauge Repros at six to nine grand each. We have seen 28 gauge two barrel sets sell at auction at ten grand. Mine is not for sale at that price. Yup, the case hardening color is not durable.
