Photos Knives & Finely Embellished Shotguns

He is my dear departed dog jack whom I could write a book on

He could do anything

He was a Dogo Argentino

Track deer



Birds



Crush hogs



General vermin and small game



He was also terrifying to kids





He was the most noble creatures that I have fever known and will forever be missed





Here is the Turnbull restored Fox

 
My last dbl barrel was in 1985.
A Universal Balaki TOZ 66 hammer gun in 12 guage.
Nothin' fancy but for the external hammers and real Sidelocks. If memory serves, no engraving.
Just an inexpensive Russian SxS allegedly used by their market hunters.
Gun is long gone :( No pictures. :(
 
Those old foxes are the best very light weight and simple and built like a tank. I've had a few as well as a nice old Parker Pe grade with an English stock. I still liked my old sterlingworth 20 with the 28" barrels and double triggers the best though.

Fantastic. I learned something new. Never knew about that breed.
 
A little big for birds but a fine double nonetheless:

I remember when you lost him Joe. So sorry. We put a good one under this tree, where she can look out across the flats, something she loved to do. We stop by and say Hi now and then.

Turnbull does some fantastic work!
 
Here's Sandy with his first pheasant retrieve. I forget which O/U that is, but it was traded for a nice 16 Ga. SxS

And here's Daisy, (That's that chocolate blur you see in the foreground), running circles around Sandy.

Edit: Sorry, I got carried away with some of my old dog pics & forgot the thread is about finely embellished guns. After hunting for well over 60 years, hunting for me is more about quality time in the woods, with my dogs, than a few grouse or pheasants. So since I already derailed the thread, here's the current pair of labs....Gunny & Rebel:

Same to you sir! Did ya see the article in Sporting Classics on Butch Searcy? That pic above was for that article. I traded him one of my Sonoran Skinners for three huge boxes of his stock cut offs, all presentation or exhibition grade Turkish walnut. So while these knife pics don't show a finely embellish double, they are literally handled from cutoffs from a very fine, completely handmade, double:

The best to you and yours sir

This is this year

We are missing my dear friend Bob who passed with cancer 6 months ago to the day

He will forever be missed and it was good to see the dogs work and his son was with me



Not an embellished gun but a favorite these days a Ruger round body side by side 12 gage that carries like a 20
