Nice looking job! It's great to see a good old gun fixed up for another hundred years. But I have to agree with SB, the extreme pitch wouldn't suit me at all.

Have you contacted C&H for a Certificate of Origin? For a modest fee, they'll be able to give you all the original particulars on that gun. Can I assume it has Cogswell's Avant Tout action with ejectors and assisted opening?
