Bryndon, this gun was done long before my discovery of pinfires. I saw it at a small gun show north of Anchorage. I think the price was $1100. I could not resist, although not being a Model 21 fan. As I was walking away with the gun, the seller came after me. I cringed as I thought something was wrong. But, he said that I forgot the case, a fine leg-o-mutton from Winchester, originally fitted to the gun.

Engraver, Sam Welch, was an Alaska friend at that time, and he soon moved to Moab, Ut. I longed for a gun to be done by Sam and could not think of a better canvas for him to work on. His work, my Midwest wood, and the help of a stocker I cannot remember at the moment, turned the Skeet gun into a personal treasure. Too bad the Skeet guys do not have a game for 16 gauges. I love it.
