Not as fancy as some, but historic. This is Maj. Charles Askins, Sr.'s personal Superposed. He was one of the top gunwriters and shotgun gurus of the '30's and 40's and Col. Charles Askins, Jr.'s father.

Wood restored by James Flynn, Gunmaker, right down to the vintage, flat topped checkered diamonds. Flynn is a master of the leather pad. The Major had a rubber pad that had been replace and the replacement was in bad shape. So we went with period appropriate restoration rather than literal photo perfect reproduction. We could have gotten Silvers or Hawkins reproduction pads, but because of Flynn's expertise with pigskin, this was a no-brainer. Photos by Flynn.

This rather long thread tells the story.
