Oh, heck, Brent,
Don't let a little internecine discussion ruin y'r joy of sharing. At a Gilding Seminar, one of the leading lights from the Smithsonian's Conservation Analytical Labs pointed out that "we are like minded people, with an intense common interest, bitterly divided by minutiae."
As was pointed out recently by such luminaries as Lowell Glenthorne and that Minneapolis fella, this edition of the BBS is a haven of civility and good fellowship, compared to Cyber-Frontier, OK Corral atmosphere that once ruled. Many of the real scholars have returned, and there is a real sharing of knowledge. BTW, I count y'r engraving contribution as such.
Like rocks in a flowing river, with time, we get our rough edges smoothed down and can tumble along in relative peace. Altho, the sound of stones knocking together IS occasionaly heard in the current. ;~`)
Relax; we're all experts here.

OWD said: For that money, gaps are not acceptable. I rescind my previous wisecrack. OWD is correct, that void should not appear on any gun, my $1500 Beretta is perfect. Compounding the sin, after all the inspections it received, the engraver had to work around it for months. Shame on them and shame on me for letting the glitter distract me from the canvas it was applied to. Still love that engraving, thanks Brent, I will save these to my archive.

I personally don't see any gap. But anyways, I like the gun. I reminds me of the W.W. Greener ST. George guns. IM

First, I'd like to say hello and nice board.
I think the trigger guard has been removed at one time and not "seated" correctly upon reinstallation. Some of the leaves appear to not line up about the same amount as the gap.
BrentD,
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Dogdigger is correct. Another wasted rant on my part. I just received a letter from H&H's solicitors regarding libelous comments, that was fast!

Beautifull H%H possibly made to slew Dragons. Sorry, I don't see the cracks.
I would like to see some close up pictures of a "$1500 perfect Beretta".

Of course! I knew they were turnscrews! [Slaps forehead with palm while grimacing] But would the owner of such a gun be disassembling it himself? Maybe to remove the locks, but otherwise, I'd think it would go back to H&H for anything else.

Look at the trigger plate, you know, in front of the trigger guard. Actually this "$1500 Beretta" cost "$1035" making it a "$1035 Beretta" so "here ya go". It won't slew dragons only roses. http://img355.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf0096yy1.jpg
