You know something, John? It wasn't that long ago when I saw something in a publication or an internet conversation- illustrating some ol' hammer gun thing, I'd just-- eeehhhh!! And go on to something else more interesting. But when I continue to see something like this Stephen Grant, you really point out something beautiful I never took an interest in. I love leather pads!! And that wood is something else, too! Thanks for bringing this to our (my) attention. The barrel pattern, wood, leather pad and the gun overall is really awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us.
