Very nice.  I'm starting to like the iron furniture more and more.

Saw that yesterday. Spectacular rifle. I really like the carving behind the cheek piece. Very imaginative design but keeping with in the period and style...not easy to do. Super gun over all.

This is wonderful work as we've come to expect. There's lots to like about this gun. The pictures are going into my "Pratt" file. I agree with David...nice picture of Spike who we met back in April.

I forgot to add...I was a professional photographer for years and every now and then I see a photograph that really stands out. The first photograph in the series is a real cracker!

Great piece!  Very traditional, but at the same time it has such original and creative features. Like Mike Brooks said, that's hard to do.

Soul is right. Combine that with workmanship and you have a winner.
