Finally got around to updating some insurance photos and happened to notice these four guns sitting next to one another and thought I'd snap a quick picture. . . No point to this point to this post other to share some photos I thought other wood lovers on the board might enjoy.

I have some more modern guns with nice wood, but there is something special that the patina of 100 years adds to the gun. I guess there were wood lovers 100+ years ago also.




(Clockwise from upper-left)

W.C. Scott - 1891
Francotte - 1897
Wm. Schaefer & Son (Lindner) - circa 1890
Charles Daly - circa 1875

(My apologies for the photo quality (especially after following MP's post.))
