Hello, I engrave that Kolar sometime ago. The gun is still in the white; I think it was grey later on. Please tell me what you think.

The treatment of the inlaid woodcock and quail, but particularly the woodcock is a very distinct and perhaps almost unique approach to engraving, and the inlays' detail is wonderfully executed from what I can see on my screen. I think with a deep gray finish the inlays would be even more stunning. It is a very nice pattern and design and the gold line work also looks to be flawless. The woodcock is benefiting from some form of Escheresque visual depth perception illusion to make it fly out out of the floral plane, but I am not exactly quite seeing how it was achieved. I like it.

As a rule I don't find gold work attractive but that woodcock is a stunner. I could see having just that single bird on the bottom of my gun. The grouse is also wonderfully renedered, really nice detail but the 3D quality of the woodcock is a winner.
Please show us the other side!
