Two more things, for what they are worth. I can't post photos here, just links. I have only figured out good film photography in time to realize there are few labs left with the expertise to do good developing. The digital age is upon me, and I can't find my slide rule. Typical, of my corner of the world, actually.
Lastly, Thorny's Beesley needs no appologies here. Several photos of it have come and gone, and it is a truly desirable gun with a good pedigree. If it had been cut, it is one of the few guns I can think of that we have seen here that would be worth sleeving, if it needed it, which, it doesn't.
So, there is a challenge for anyone who wants to throw rocks at Thorny and his Beesley. Show us something you have that's actually worth sleeving. I'll go first-I don't own anything worth sleeving. Not my Tobins, not my Darnes, most certainly not my pumps, but, you knew that. If the barrels go south, my doubles are wallhangers. I can live with that.
Best,
Ted
