I guess I am trying to kill two birds with one stone, but I have two thing to talk about. The first one is for Sporting Shot (see left) has a nice link for a article concerning a Model 21 that was re-worked. It is entitled: Dad's Old Gun, TheOdyssey of a Classic 21. This concerned the final work that was performed on it. This included polishing the action and the barrels and blueing done by Adny Wojtowycz, engraving by Pauline Muerrle, and stockwork done by Wenig. Everything came together in a very nice package. The next one concerns the Pedertsen Collection of fine guns at the NRA museum. I went there, last Saturday, and I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. The collection of fine handguns, rifles, and shotguns is incredible. They had magnifying lenses mounted over the sideplates of some of the Italian doubles so you could see the engraving. Three of the shotguns belonded to Robert Stack: two Parkers and a Purdey side by with a hydro coil stock. It was absolutely incredible. Hope you get a chance to see it.
