That is a fine looking gun, Mike. Knockout engraving. I think I'd leave the brass finial exactly how you found it, put the gun back on face, fix or disable the ejectors, after the the left ejector is repaired (disabled ejectors won't break, and the next guy can put the springs back in them, if he likes) and call it the best gun for hunting that you own.
I couldn't own more than one dog, especially a dog with similar bloodlines to the one I own. She is a force to be reckoned with, on a daily basis. Looking at that pillow makes me wonder if buddy and my Setter, Louise, had a common ancester with a similar attitude?

Thanks for the pictures. Merry Christmas.

Best,
