Dang that's purdy. I've never seen metal like that on something like that.
You did the stock too, I presume. Nice. |

 Yes I rust blued the barrels and trigger guard, and refinished all the furniture re-cut the checkering where it needed it. These had flat, not peaked checkering. It also would not cock when I got it so I had to scare up/ make those parts and get it operate properly. The case work was done by Doug Turnbull industries, a very respected name in the restoration trade.

Outstanding! I know some of these threads might feel a little like self-promotion, but I thoroughly enjoy seeing what people on this BBS are able to do, from garages, to mechanical work, to guitars to guns. Magnificent work, and thanks for sharing.

David, you are a true craftsman. That is one sweet Elsie, and a 20g to boot.
