When James Flynn restored the wood on the Charles Askins, Sr. 1933 Superposed, checkering wasn't pointed but was flat topped. To me, that's a lot harder to do, one reason why I took that gun to him when I found who had owned it.

I had traded for it around 10 yrs ago with Collectors Firearms in Houston. I just liked the way it looked. Traded it even for a Citori Sporting Clays that I wasn't using. Only later found out it had been ordered from Browning by Major Charles Askins, Sr., Col. Charlie Askiin's Dad. The Major had been the highest paid gun writer in his day, was an expert on shotguns and shooting. The Col. said his Dad hardly ever missed a flying target...

The other is Winchester 21 checkering on a 20 ga. Skeet gun. That kinda work and the Askins Browning restoration checkering, is for the pros.
