Of course I forgot he still needs to do the right side and top tang.

I do go to the Bristol show and hope to meet Glen Fewless there. I will also be at the CADA at the end of October and always hang out with Fred Bowen and Dave Norin.

OP joelblack88 Sidelock Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 262 Wisconsin	Fred Bowen finished the engraving yesterday and drove the 10 miles up the road to Dave Norin's shop. With his usual meticulous attention to detail fashion, Dave emailed me his finishing intention for every inch of metal. I can't adequately express how fortunate I feel to live in the same area with so many wonderful craftsmen.

OP joelblack88 Sidelock Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 262 Wisconsin	Dave Norin just emailed me this picture to show me he has the metal finishing done. Monday I will drive down to his shop to pick it up and take it with the barrel to my retired gunsmith who will fit and chamber it and attach the rest of the parts to it. As you can see Dave managed to get the typical muted English colors just right. Last edited by joelblack88; 12/31/10 06:31 PM.
