Dustin;
Thanks for your kind words. (Dustin is a superb barrel browner and blacker among a whole list of things).
Engraving the screw and the barrels was the easy part. Engraving the action was very very difficult as I was not able to anneal the through hardened action and had to engrave it with Carbalt gravers stopping and sharpening broken tip every 30 seconds or so. I was able to anneal the top lever and sideplates.

Both Dustin and Stephen are my friends. Both are very talented and accomplished craftsmen. Having them consider ME as their friend is a feather in my hat. When they speak on doubleguns, I listen.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Looks like that British "Standard" stuff wasn't too standard...
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

In the 1960's BSA, Triumph, Norton motorcycle world, BSF was known as "British Strip Fine."

I wish I still had my 1968 BSA 441 Victor--even though it would vibrate bolts loose.

That is a little harsh Recoil. Every British screw thread has a tracible standard to the British Nation Physical Laboratory. The threads are standard it is the people who use them that are not standard.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

Damascus, spoken by men drinking warm beer because none of them can figure out how to fix anything electrical including refrigeration. Keep telling yourself warm beer is always better than cold beer on hot days. When you have six different standards you really have none. You just call one buggered screw one thread type because you need an excuse for it not working. And now you can add metric to the mess.
