Just noticed that phil's twenties gun matched pair is available thru westley richards. There are some lovely close ups of the finished gun. Asking 120,000 sterling. http://wrusedguns.com/guns/shotguns Click on the H&H pair. The finished article is indeed stunning to behold. The guns were engraved on the 5/07/91 for a lady, it's nice to see my old guns come up for sale now and again. I did lots of "theme" guns back then, not so many now, however, I am at the moment working on another African Hunter gun for the African Hunter Series "Products of Excellence" by H&H. This one is of Robert Ruark and will include his portrait and hunting scenes, it will be in H&H's display cabinet at Bruton Street and for sale probably in a years time:) After this gun I have .700 double rifle to do....a big-un! Phil

They're absolutely fantastic Phil, I'd like to say I have a favourite but they're all stunning. Have you got a phone number for the 20s girl ?  I have trouble scratching my name or a number on something without ballsing it up.
Rust never sleeps !

Have you got a phone number for the 20s girl ? You might be disappointed as the 20's girl is not a girl anymore I see you're just up the road from me The .700 Double Rifle is H&H. Phil

Phil,
It is truly fantastic that you have taken the time to share your work on here.
It is a very small World indeed , I believe that you may know Dai Jones of West Midland Shooting Ground , Hodnet, and Dai , David Llewellyn of Pentwyn,Fochriw ?

Is Dai Jones of WMSG's the same guy that owned a shop gun/sports shop in Shrewsbury?
I know Dai Llewewllyn from my childhood days when we lived in Fochriw, we went to the same school, he's a little older than me, he used to play with my brother Ifor all those years ago.
He lives a mile from me at his farm, I have to say that I have not spoke to him for I guess 55 years! But if you are in contact, please give him my regards. BTW how do you know him?
Phil

My sincerest thanks for sharing the magnificent art you create. In my former job I bought and sold some firearms bearing your signature, and all were magnificent.

I really don't know how to compliment someone who works on that level and especially someone who engraves some of the most expensive shotguns on the planet other than thank you for including us.
