I have had the good fortune of having that SX-1 receiver in my hands twice, and both times the wood ducks on the right side of the receiver drew my attention. IMHO they are as fine, maybe finer, as any I have ever seen inlayed/engraved on a shotgun... Congratulations to both the engraver and the owner!!!

That would be "gauche", actually. ;-)

I thought I might find something between "gosh" and "goshawk" in Webster's Ninth Collegiate, the newest print edition I sprung for. However, "goshe" is not there and the other possibility doesn't apply. It's a goddamned automatic, Ed. Full coverage of English scroll is about twenty seven grand. I have seen the waterfowl scene in person, used a glass, and I like it. The pheasant isn't bad either.

I find it very artistic. You don't see spanish moss engraved much. I've only seen it on a Purdey belonging to a Southern Planation Owner. BARON23 did you come up with the concept and design?

There is a lot of beautiful scratching on that automatic! Is the side with the pheasant and dogs going to be filled in a little with grass and reeds like the waterfowl scene? It sure looks nice.

IMOD, yeah, Baron came up with the design and Ken elaborated on it. I don't think my friend Baron could have done what Ken did with the swamp scene. It can't be appreciated as well in pictures as it can be under a glass. The water and Spanish Moss is astounding. David, the upland scene is only partially finished in the supplied pictures. To our new poster, Ed, "It's a goddamned automatic for gosh sakes. You don't cover them with English scroll." As Ken has told me, "You can't afford it."
