This is a pinless sidelock in 470. Thought you might enjoy the engraving pics.

That's more than engraving, that's art.

And if Griffnee did the engraving, it costs more than the gun!

Ivan has the same "Elephant Decoy" on his and it draws in Eles like a magnet (hee-hee).

Very nice and from what I understand excellent mechanically as well.

I think the basic Heym PH is $16K, so a pinless sidelock would, I think, go for twice that.

Add engraving like that, I would think ballparking it at $40K to $50K would probably be reasonable. If it is indeed Griffnee who did it, it could be more. That is purely a guess on my part.

Would it be OK to show us the trigger guard and/or bottom of the action?
