Will you be doing the work? The welding I mean. I agree this will be an outstanding project.
I especially like the Pointer engraving.

The left blank in pic 8 has a wide swath of what looks like sap wood in the picture on the right. Far stretch to call those a pair?

I like #6 if you plan to shoot it. Nice strong grain flow through the wrist with a feather far enough back it won�t hurt the structure.

Art Isaacson himself is doing the metal work on my project.
I don�t know of any factory case colored Superposed.
The finish on a Pointer ( and Pidgeon as well) is a process called French Grey.



Turkish blanks are only a pair in that there are two.

How old is Angelo Bee getting to be?

Best,

Forgive me for being gauche, but that looks like a serious money pit. You couldn�t find what you wanted in the open market?

how gauche...we are talkin art here...

Have you done an internet search for 28 gauge Browning Superposed?
Now Pointers?
Now Superlights?

Pros
- it�s a Belgian Superposed
- it�s a 28 gauge
- it�ll be a Superlight
- it�ll be a Pointer
- it�ll be engraved by a world renown engraver Angelo Bee
- it�ll be stocked to fit me
- I�ll choose the wood myself

Cons
- nope, can�t think of a one

Now this,
Let�s through a few more bones at the project.





Yup, that�s right, that�s an original, unfinished, never been on a gun set of Belgian Browning 28 gauge barrels.
Sure they�ll need ejectors, forend wood and metal, fitting and finish
but how many Superposed Superlight Pointer two barrel sets do you think there are in this world?

Were it meant to be hung onto,
They�d of made money with handles.

Ted,
I believe Angelo Bee is 82 Year�s old.
Weeks ago I viewed a video of him working with hammer and chisel.
His speed and dexterity were amazing.
No moss growing on him.

I�ve seen a few guns with his name on them, that I would have guessed (educated guess, but, still a guess) were 50s-60s vintage.

Hope I�m upright at 82, and can still pull my boots on.

Best,
Ted
