I got so excited when the pictures arrived that I was all set to drive to Lake Villa, IL to pick it up from Fred and drive it the 10 miles to Dave Norin's for case hardening. Of course I forgot he still needs to do the right side and top tang.

I'm probably not as close as you think. I live 30 miles SW of Madison WI. I do go to the Bristol show and hope to meet Glen Fewless there. I will also be at the CADA at the end of October and always hang out with Fred Bowen and Dave Norin.

I will be there on Friday. Just ask Fred Bowen, or Dave Norin to point me out. Fred says he plans to use the Farquharson as one of the exhibits of his work.

What you can't tell from these pictures is how tiny the scrolls are. I couldn't believe it when I saw the work in person.

That engraving is absolutely magnificent, can't say anything more meaningful or better than that other than perhaps it's stunning craftsmanship.

Dave Norin just emailed me this picture to show me he has the metal finishing done. Monday I will drive down to his shop to pick it up and take it with the barrel to my retired gunsmith who will fit and chamber it and attach the rest of the parts to it. As you can see Dave managed to get the typical muted English colors just right.
