Hello All,
Great to see this thread again!
Canvasback, looking forward to seeing pictures of the gun.
Maybe too late, but perhaps the checkering could be the typical basket weave
some Idéals have.
The typed list was sent to me by a Frenchman who had "inherited" it from
an uncle who worked at Manufrance. I have not been able to remember where
I contacted him or if he contacted me :-(
Regards,
JC
Hi JC. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well. Thanks for responding about the typed list. Now I will make some notes about where it came from. When the gun is back I will certainly be posting some photos.
As far as the chequering goes, I have really wrestled with this for a while. Original was the basket weave style at 36LPI. Problem is I hate the basket weave style. And 36 LPI is so fine I might as well not chequer at all. So I'm going with the original pattern, but doing it either in 28 or 32 and not basket weave.
I'll never be selling the gun so......originality is not as important as having the gun that I want.
