Barry.
Thanks for the pictorial. Out here in the sticks, I often have to open the pics individually and this was like unwrapping Christmas prestents. My only question is was the condition of the engraving such that you were able to chase it or did you have to recreate it or was it both? Congratulations to all involved in it's renaissance
Geno,
Your comments as to originality are well taken. If someone were to represent the gun as original that would be unethical. But for artisans to renew a fine gun to this level is only a compliment to the original maker. Your knowledge of European makers has been a benefit to all of us and we have enjoyed finding that across the ocean some maker, whose craftsmanship was recognized by one of us Norte's but of whom we knew nothing, was held in regard by those who knew more than us. Now you know of J. Fisher.
.400,
Thank you for your insights. Esoteric knowledge such as yours and Geno's are invaluable. You now go on my short list for go-
to guys when I am stumpeed.
A Happy New Year to all.
