Your new shotgun is beautiful Mike. The engraving is fantastic. And I understand that fiddleback grain is not nearly so common in English walnut as it is in black walnut, so that was a nice bonus. I think I'd consider replacing the brass grip cap with one made of horn as the original was. I have one Syracuse Lefever that has the fairly rare horn grip cap on a semi-pistol grip stock, and it is a nice touch.

The pic of Buddy is priceless. Somehow, he just had to know he wasn't going to get to go bird hunting because of his knee.
