That is going to be one beautiful piece. Love those half-octagon barrels.
Are you planning on a vintage scope or a more contemporary one?

Unfortunately, it is not my project! I just saw it, and thought it fit in very well with this thread.

A couple of years back I saw an advertisement for this Vinnicombe engraved Martini frame. I have a rifle engraved by Phil Vinnicombe so I was interested enough to request a few pictures.

It was very tempting and would have made for an interesting project. I just couldn't see the need for a Martini in my safe. I still kinda regret not making the purchase.

Here are the photos:






No other parts were included but it wouldn't have been impossible to pick up all that was needed in Australia. More than a few Martinis floating about there.

And just to add a little to the discussion, here are a couple of Martini pictures I've collected. These look like they both came from the Sotheby's website.

Joseph Bourne 577_450 Martini


I Hollis 577/450
