Fox Collectors

Thanks Foxnut. I’ll be glad when I finally get the gun in hand it’s been a few years in the making. I’ve decided to have Bertram Edmonston IV do the engraving. It will be loosely based on this gun with dogs being two of my favorites a GWP and a DD. Mr. Gournet was going to be the engraver so in his ...

Looks like the forend should match the stock.

Good eye, he did add them. Probably not needed, but something he wanted to try. I think he did a nice job on those as well.

This from my Smith today.

Everything is cut. I will point the diamonds and deepen the boarders after the finish is done.

Thanks Foxnut, will do. Checking should have started yesterday or maybe today. Then it will be waiting on the engraving. That probably won’t get started for another 3-4 months.

First coat of finish went on yesterday (c:

Was able to get a true double on the pheasants and also a double on the quail, down in Kansas. Otto is having a blast. Other than the cut on his front leg.

Just beautiful work Bill, each one in its own way! You’re very lucky man.

That model 61 would sure be something for a young boy or girls 1st rabbit/squirrel gun (c; Hope you’ve got family to pass you treasures down to.

Thank you for sharing,

Mark
