Wow - that's a very nice Monte Carlo B.

It's amazing how well made that gun is, especially when you consider that that was a mid-grade gun for Scott. I've seen recent, brand new H&H Royals and Purdeys that aren't as well made as your gun.

Look at how nice the wood-metal fit is on the forend tip and how tight the metal-metal fit is where the lockplates fit into the action. When I remember that that work was done by all by hand, I'm even more impressed.

Congratulations.

Wonderful gun. Your photos are great for this type of "story". Do you know have a better opinion on the case coloring ?

Daryl,..are you asking me? or is your question directed towars the fellows that believed the gun was refinished?...I kew what I had all along, I just didn't want people to base their opinion on my first set of lousy pictures.

I also have another gun very symilar to this one,...a P.Webbley, that's undergoing complete restoration,...been working on it for the last 5 years,...it's at the metal finishing stages CC & blacking/ bluing is all that I have left to do on the gun...maybe I'll post some pics of it in the white

Claudio, that is a beauty! But isn't all this picture taking keeping you away from the work bench

That should help make it a Merry Christmas.
