Winchester 101

[BrianPowley]

For the Grand National Quail Club.
Although I have studied Marcus Hunt's book, I'm not very confident with English Fine Scroll.

 

[Lonestarr]

Brian Is that an English Pointer?.....Nice job..

Bob

 

[BrianPowley]

Yes...It is an English Pointer.
Thanks for the kudos.

 

[Darrell]

just very beautiful work, any hunter would be proud to own that gun,............I used to own a Win 101, Grand European model Skeet/Skeet, with the Gold and Silver inlay, I was told the gun was American Walnut stock, built in Japan and hand engraved in Italy...............go figure!

very nice. cool how tha state outline creates a frame for the birds. i'd love to see a closeup of the border, if you have time. tyvm for showing.

 

[BrianPowley]

Thanks everyone.
Monk.....which border are you referring to? The border that is "Oklahoma", the scroll work, or the one that separates the raised panel from the pivot pin area?

 

[monk]

brian: the border around the raised area.

[Mike Fennell]

very nice, Brian. I especially like the pointer. There are several ways to execute English Scroll, of which Marcus Hunt and his father Ken Hunt are masters. I learned the Purdey style from Simon Lytton, but I like them all

 

[BrianPowley]

Monk.....thanks for asking about that border. I looked at it an tweaked it a bit.

 

[monk]

thank you much, brian. your work looks good, even in giant size!. that will be a real looker when all is finished.

 

[BrianPowley]

Thanks Monk!

 

[Roger Bleile]

I'll call that the "tadpole border."

 

[monk]

I'll call that the "tadpole border."

yes. it better be in your glossary by the end of october !

 

[BrianPowley]

Reblued, reassembled, all done.

 

[77cj5]

Nice! I wish my 101 looked this beautiful!

 

[BrianPowley]

Roger....Instead of the "Tadpole" border, could you use the phrase "The Schnoid Periphery" ?
Just a thought....

 

[Big-Un]

Roger....Instead of the "Tadpole" border, could you use the phrase "The Schnoid Periphery" ?

Could you enlighten me on the phraseology, I don't understand?

 

[BrianPowley]

Sorry...."Schnoid" is one of my made up words that refers to your average guy doing "gopher" work (Go For...)
Roger and I trade barbs at each other with that term.
Periphery, of course, is a synonym for the word "border".
So...."Schnoid Periphery" would be a border done by your average guy.
