Cornelis,
A Beautiful gun, in Beautiful condition! We hardly ever see one in such pristine condition, all screws undamaged, etc. The metalwork filing is a joy, as is the beautifully carved stock. The ivory escucheons for the side-nails look lovely. Altogether Very very nice! Congratulations on owning such a piece! ........now, I'm going back to look at it again!! Richard. |

Hi Richard,
I beg to differ but I do not think that the side-nail washers on Cornelis' beautiful gun are actually of ivory. In 99.99 per cent these inlays consist of either mammalian bone or of staghorn which means that you can use a Canadian cow bone or something else of native provenance to rebuild the piece  Best wishes, Michael |

Good morning Michael.
Yes, I am sure you are quite right about the side-nail washers. I was "presuming" based only on the colour! I sort of think replicating this one might be a bit past my abilities!!!! Lovey rifle. |
