Hi guys, here are a couple of pictures of some lockplates I engraved late last year. This is for gun No 3 in a series I'm doing. They are based on the art of Archibald Thorburn. The abbreviated word for the small birds which is in common usage in England isn't allowed (it gets ****) because it's also slang for a woman's breasts. Thorburn used the full name Titmouse but I'm not sure if the plural is titmice???
Anyway..... The first plate depicts Long Tailed Titmouses/mice. The one on the left is the Thorburn bird.
The second plate depicts Wood Pigeon, the perched bird being the Thorburn.
