Gun started life as a Fox Sterly 28" extractor 16 Gauge (Philly Gun) choked full/mod in great mechanical condition. With a nice stick of Turkish wood and a great engraver and stockmaker the following pictures are the outcome. Gun is 90 percent complete and still needs the buttplate checkered, stock checkered, case hardening etc..

The stock itself is amazing (Dan does great work) and the engraving is some of the nicest I've seen. Took a few pictures, but it was dark outside (thunderstorms) and hence the pics in side the NE SXS tent required a slow shutter speed and I couldn't get the depth of field I wanted. Anyway, a few pictures. When its complete I'll take some more. Gournet was going to take some pictures of the gun and put it on his web site. He said it was something truly different compared to what he normally does. The gun just about a 100 percent copy of the first small bore DE grade made, which was displayed in the DoubleGun Journal in 1995. Gournet did all the engraving based on the photos from the article. Both he and Dan are a pleasure to work with.

PS. This project from soup to nuts covered more then 3 years. One has to be patient as everyone seems to have a pretty large backlog of work.

Slowly getting there. Receiver case colored and Dan is starting on the checkering. Knock on wood it will be completed next month. Feather crotch Turkish walnut looks pretty good.

It's completed. I'll see if I can get it out of the safe and get some pics taken and posted. It has not hit the field yet.
