Ross, you're going to need a new barn with your aquisition rate.
The engraving is sparse on the gun, nothing like the later guns like your 16. Now I remember that gun, perhaps I was just trying to put it out of my mind. The engraving is quality though.
For kicks, I laid out a Philly Fox 16 (6 lbs/28")next to this early H/SAC, the frame length is nearly identical, the width is close. The wrist is actually thinner on my early Hollenbecks. The weight is in the tubes, although struck well and comparative to English guns.
Thanks Tom for the added info, when I promised pics, I meant you as well. I do have a question for you. Do you find the 'star/flag' pattern common on most of the damascus guns? Just wondering as I have two examples, a 12 and a 16, yet I'm thinking that the serials are @25K apart.
Please do me a favor and send a blank email, as I don't have yours Ross, and I have lost Tom's.... to sacclub at comcast dot net.
