Sadly, no. Mr Kennedy died quite awhile ago. Jerry Fisher told me on multiple occasions that he thought Kennedy was the finest stockmaker of all time. Jerry said Kennedy could inlet and shape a side lock shotgun or rifle with tangs from a blank with no hesitation.
Kennedy was the only person who Purdy would allow to stock their actions. I saw one magnificent .465 double which he did.

There is a 458 on the Hallowell site. Look at the distinctive placement and shape of rear swivel.
My deceased friend, to whom I sold the metal, had a number of rifles completed by LH.
I wish I had kept that stick.

I’ve seen quite a few gorgeous Helgeland creations on Hallowell’s website.
