Mike, you had your chance along with everyone else...I had it at Ivory Beads for consignment at around $1800 about 2 yrs ago. Sorry bud  Then I started learning about loading for damascus guns and took it off the market. I now have three damascus guns, another which has been totally restored, a Parker #1, should arrive today. I'll post some pics later. 'Been takin that Yoshinoya erb. Seems to be working, my waistline is improving and no flashbacks of disco  .

Rob;
As you probably know, Giacomo is the head man and is a Perazzi guru. People who know and deal with Giacomo directly sometimes get a little different perspective of the services offered.
If you email them and ask for a price list, you'll get a prompt reply and find they do much more than service Perazzis. Even so, I suspect the list is not comprehensive; for instance, under barrel work, they list boring, polishing and correcting dents and bulges but don't mention choke/cone alterations which they've done for me in the past and I suspect they still do.
They are wonderful people to deal with and the only shop in the country I wholeheartedly endorse. Got a quick reply from Giacomo today, but unfortunately it seems they won't do this work on damascus barrels. The search continues.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Chuck, nice gun and a nicer hat. What brand is it?
I have to confess that I have trouble shooting with a brimmed hat. I lift my head off the stock too much. More drop helps, but so does a pair of shears to reduce a cheap ballcap's brim by half.

Brent, Looking back at that pic, I think that's a 4x Stetson Gus 4" brim with some "trail shaping". I have another Gus in black also. I have quite a number of hats and find that a good 100% beaver hat goes much longer on the trail or other uses than a cheaper production hat and can be good enough to go back in for restoration after many miles. A lot of my friends have been buying from Mackey Hats http://www.mackeycustomhats.com/ for a number of years now, with one friend probably having the record with them for hats bought; I'm guessing over 20. They are good hats, but that friend is hard on the equipment, very hard. He gives the old ones away to newbies. I bought a Rand hat from the MT outfit and it's a good hat too. I have one from Jackson Hole Hat that has good felt that has held up for many miles on the trail thru rain and sun but so-so quality of work.

They just opened one in Times Square. Haven't been there yet.
So many guns, so little time!

Bill: Your restock of my old prewar merkel brought it from unusable, to beautiful. and its in a black walnut, modern finish.
from unuseable to functional. the functional value is always there, and if the metal is right, and the wood is bright,and the fit is tight, then it a matter of taste: like the 55 chevy's out there. some stock, some hopped. some just wore out.
I go function, form, fit, and fire.
now on the true collectors guns: do nothing more than needed, but do always oil and clean and iron out dents and hammer out dings. and reblue as needed to prevent rusting in the field.

Chuck, who did those colors on the Crass? I'm guessing Turnbull, since the gentleman that did the resto uses Turnbull nowadays he tells me.
