Some examples of Winston Churchill from Vermont....There are others, however he ranks among the best of the best... He also does bronze.... laissez les bons temps rouler

Only about $US 250,000 stands in the way of me having that .577 Holland and Holland. Battue, keep posting other links that like that have lots of high-res images -- they really show how good engraving can be. john

My favorite looking shotgun is my CSMC M21 O/U that has an exhibition grade stock and a plain, polished, blued receiver. I love that look.

ROMAC Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 3,590 Eastern Pennsylvania	Thanks, here are few more pictures. I decided to tone down the case color to a French Gray finish. The harsh light in these pictures washed out some of the detail. The fox, for instance, has fur that you just can't see the detail of in these pictures.

I like the deep looking engraving on yours, it shows so much depth. Kind of old world like, maybe a Germanic feel to it? Simply Beautiful!
