Is that aftermarket wood? That wood is beautiful for an onyx.

Not aftermarket, that is the wood that came on it. I've gotten a couple of Ruger No. 1's with better than average wood also. Doc Encore says I have been "blessed by the wood gods".

The Beretta has knocked down a few doves already, but alas she has already got a ding in that wood. Was standing too close to the SIL and his semi-auto shucks empties with gusto. Dang kids and their new-fangled semi-autos! frown

I looked for months for an Onyx with that kind of wood. Your one lucky SOB in my opinion. Congrats! In order to get a stock like yours I'm gonna have to get one from Coles.

Surprisingly, my shotgun with the best lookin' wood is a special run Rem 870. It has pheasant and bird dog engraving and some nice Claro walnut!!

I haven't seen a Colt shotgun in this thread. My cousin has a side/side boxed colt hammerless ordered by a great-great grand uncle in about 1895,delivered in 1896 and barrels replaced at no charge by factory in 1898. Serial number between 1000-1990 but I don't remember exact #. Engraved, damascened barrels, beautiful wood. Box is even in good shape with blue felt interior and leather exterior. Original paperwork folded and starting to tear unfortunately. Bores are absolutely pristine!

No pictures available, but I may be able to get some from him sometime to post. Any other Colts out there?

I just had my LC Smith 3E refinished by Dan Printz at The firing Pin in NC. Go check it out The Firing Pin - LC Smith 3E
He put up a bunch of pictures of work he did on it. Here is just one I took once it came back home.

Here are my favorites. Not as pretty as some, but they get the job done. 1st is a Remington 310 12ga that I just got yesterday, 2nd is a Browning sweet sixteen Belgium made, and 3rd is my baby. Savage Fox Model B in 20ga. I use this gun for everything and I love the way she feels. I bought the Remington to give my Fox a break for a little while. As you can see all 3 guns and just about every gun I have all have that same scratch on the butt stock. That is from getting them in and out of my gun safe. I hit them every time.

It was a gift from an old elk hunting pard.
It looks half worn out, but it's slick and smooth and has a trigger like a target rifle... Turkeys hate it!
Serial # sez it's made in 1900!

Down to only 2 SXS's, both 12 gauge. Top Merkel, bottom Bland. The engraving on the Merkel is arabesque (sp?) I like them both a lot.

I really like the Bland. Clean lines. Thomas Bland? English or from Woodcock Hill?

Any idea on weight of the Merkel? Been looking at a few of them lately.

Terrific guns and game birds! Say, is your dog a GWP or a WPG?
Looks like a handsome animal, either way.

Thanks, Battue,
The Bland is an EJ. I don't know much about it.
[Linked Image]
It has some nice touches, tho. Horn butt.
[Linked Image]

Not sure on the weight of the Merkel, I will check it out and post it. I did shoot a couple rounds of Sporting Clays with the Merkel and I did quite well on the first bird (with spreader loads), not so good getting back on the second bird after recoil. One of the guys seemed to think there was a lot of muzzle jump. Too light for that game, maybe? Don't know, but it comes up nice for me, and the inletting and engraving looks pretty good to me; no expert tho.
