I think that I have come up with a "Silk Purse from a sows ear". This is a 20ga Trojan that was restocked by Hal Hartley back in 1969, flawless workmanship, Fancy Walnut finished off with a 24LPI borderless checkering pattern. 26" barrels, choked .006 & .016.

I had read and reread his advise in Kennedy'a book back in the late 1960's when I started checkering as a hobby.
