Rob, I used Alknet in boiled linseed and some spirit stain both. The inlet plug did not take the color as well as the original wood so I had to stain it in addition to the oil to get a good color match. Steve

Yes I did Jim, plate was built up with accraglass gel. Steve I don't know about the rest of these fellers but I'd love to see some in between photos... You know in between the smeared accraglass and the finished product.

You know in between the smeared accraglass and the finished product. Next time I will take pictures of every step of the process so those among us who rode the short bus to school can follow along as well.

The bulk of Fred Surkamer’s business appears to have been shotguns and repair work on them. He imported shotguns, rifles, double rifles and drillings from Germany from the firm of Gebrüder Weiss (Weiss Brothers) and Bruno Weiss who were located in Suhl, Germany. Surkamer sold what he called the “Surkamer Seven” which was a seven shot volley gun that fired seven 22LR cartridges with one pull of the trigger. These were typically used for high flying waterfowl, namely geese.
Some of these got imported back in the day aswell.
