It has been awhile since I shared a work photo. Today I had the pleasure of photographing a 107 year old LeFever Arms Special Order side by side shotgun. The engraving is enchanting. On this side we have an English Setter on point with a woodcock falling from a shot. If you look there are even small feathers floating down. The other side has a delicate woodcock scene. The barrels show a fine Damascus twist pattern.
Plain and simple if it was in the budget I would love to own this gun but that isn't to be. Tomorrow it hits the web at a very good price and it will be gone. At least I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful old shotgun.
