Doug,

I've only seen one of your custom Foxes. I didn't see the barrels, but, as I recall, the beautiful gold grouse on the frame didn't seem to be inlaid over a Sterlingworth stamp(?).



Mike, I did have the Sterlingworth stamp on the frame TIG welded. The Sterlingworth engraving on a Fox, as you know, is very shallow so I removed it with a file. I just wasn't fond of the idea of the heat from a TIG weld on my barrels although I'm fairly certain that it would be ok. The heat issue, if there is any, is why I like laser welding so much more. It's tiny, precise and very very little heat generation that I'm aware of.
