Geno, you crack me up. This proves you read all of the alkanet root pages.

And Brent, I believe the gun is a true work of art. I have no idea of what level of quality is demanded of a gun of this cost (which I suspect is possibly twice the $100k mentioned by some). It's truely a beauty. The engraving is really impressive, although the subject of the engraving is not my cup of java.

As for Lowell's Beesley, it looks like it's been fine wirewheeled to me, while apart, causing the edges to be rolled on the parts and the screw looks buggered and fixed. ...Or maybe not. Probably just a build up of over-waxing.
