For those that asked here are some fresh new pics from my engraver Bob Strosin of the engraving he did on my 1913 Sterlingworth Ejector w/30" 4-wt. barrels, Bob applied his French Gray finish. From here the gun goes back to Mark Beasland for rust bluing of the barrels and then back to Toby Leeds for final stock fitting and final finishing. I am hoping to have the gun back by mid-January just in time for the 1st shoot in our winter skeet league. I am getting pretty darned excited as it's been over a year and a half in the works.

That's gorgeous. Your engraving design or Bob's? The scroll work on the receiver, I mean.

That's wonderful. PG or straight stock? Thanks for sharing.

I showed Bob some pics of engraving examples that I liked and he took it from there. The bird images and game scene were chosen by me and Bob executed them very well.

Absolutely stunning !!!
There are many upgraded guns out there and I hope to have more myself, but do have to say that yours is the most distinctive I have seen.
Congratulations to all that took part.
Best,
John

The gun will have a straight stock. Toby Leeds bent the tangs and converted the original trigger guard by welding a piece of metal on the original tang. Here a couple of pics of the wood Toby is creating from a blank I purchased from Cecil Fredi...

I suspect we're all going to see a "best quality" Sterlingworth in the near future. Hats off to my favorite American double!!
