Daryl,
What is the gun in the last picture of your last post? How I would love to see images of that whole gun! The artistry and skill of that engraver is extraordinary.

Roger Roger, what is it about that specific gun that really jumps out at you? A lot of these guns look extraordinary to me and while I will never be an engraver, I am trying to learn to see what someone such as yourself sees, as best I can. Regards, James

There's some beautiful guns on this thread for sure but one has stole my heart. The art nouveau style gun in the top picture from canvasback. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I'd happily crawl through a barrel of broken glass to get my hands on one . Absolutely stunning ! Do you have any more pictures ? I'd like some for my secret stash of gun porn 
Rust never sleeps !

Roger, I sent you a couple of emails on the Adolph Hiawatha gun. Characters were taken from illustrations by Harrison Fisher from The Song of Hiawatha by Longfellow. Wedding, life, and death shown on the unusual piece.
