No, ed. Back action sidelock. No burn marks, that I can see.

James, the engraving was quite nice, and the wood is spectacular. The rest of the gun has the appearance of being quite tired, however. The laundry list of needs on the thing could be quite extensive. 8K is still 8K, after all.

There has got to be a continental sidelock that is a better risk than this one.


Best,
Ted
