I was lucky enough to have a close cousin with FFL and got this one shipped. I'm glad it turned out as it did! smile

I don’t own one….. but this is the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP. Even over my Woodsman. John Browning legacy with machined metal using metric system ammo is about as good as it gets in a description of whatever “panache” means. 351, yours is a fine looking example with a great origin story.
