I for one, like it very much Mark. The treatment of the buttstock and the patch box, particularly the lid, are absolutely fantastic.

Never sawa Dawson gun I didn't like and this one is no exception. he was light years ahead of his contemporaries. I f Were a collector I'd have to have some of his work in my collection.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I have a long dormant memory of sending Tom the frizzen for this lock and
maybe some spring steel for the frizzen spring.
Thanks for the photos of this rifle made by a  man who left us way too soon.

My goodness, what's not to like!?   Love the lock.  Very interesting and unusual for a contemporary piece, especially and older one i dare say.
