Since my old partner in crime, Howard Dove, is no longer with us :grumpy:
The next best man on the planet is Ken, Colt and Winchester Master engraver, as was Howard.
:thumbup:
Ask him about the model 70 SN # 0123456789
He'll remember me
Mini story :
Howard and I were about waist deep in empty Busickle cans when he decided to put stars on the tiny little flag waving over the Whitehouse ( all in gold)
This flag was mmmm about 3/8 by 3/8, if that !
Well Howard was trying to figger out how to lay out 50 stars in the tiny upper left of this already minuscule flag

he was that kinda guy
Well.. This gun had to be " PC" since it was for the yankee CEO of Winchester as a Christmas gift.
The end of the story ?
Thats the only art image of the Whitehouse on the entire planet with a rebel flag flying above it :thumbup:
...buuuuuuuuurp..
Here's a little sampling of his Kens abilities for you to slobber over.
