This is the first time I have had a commission to build a new gun totally from scratch, no spark eroded or CNC parts, all hand filed from forgings, best chopper lump barrels, wood, which I think suits the gun. Next will be engraving, which will be modified Holland 'Royal' acanthus scroll type with extensions onto rib and breech end of barrels. I thought members might like to see progress. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=1&theater www.vintageguns.co.uk

Wonderful metal work, as well, I did not realize that those forgings were still available... So this one will be engraved with your name on the rib? Last edited by redoak; 03/26/14 02:50 PM.
