Outstanding work Chuck, beautiful 16 ga double flint shotgun. The owner should be well pleased with it. Lots of other  fine work on your blog also. Always enjoy looking at the work you do. Tim Cosby

Nice Chuck, you did real well on that one. I always have liked your English work.

The lock I can see looks like one of a pair I made for a man in Wisconsin or maybe Michigan.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Well I'm late to the show as usual, but couldn't pass up commenting on such a fine piece.

And the engraving certainly does it justice.
