It's getting closer to time to shoot it. Actually, I'm waiting for weather conditions to improve to were I can take good video. Right now it's just below freezing and high winds. I know all I'll get is the roar of the wind.
A couple of questions on finish:
What should the finish on the Damascus barrels look like? The gun is 1884 vintage and the barrels a few years older. I've looked at many pictures of Parker shotguns and there are so much variation I'm not sure.
The wood is updated but what looks to be polyurethane finish is thin in spots and now has small handling marks. I'm thinking a light skuffing and apply another coat by hand. I normally use Birchwood Casey's Tru-Oil. Is that going to fill the scratches and cover the thin areas?
