An unusual commission a customer asked for this decanter engraved with his pair of shot guns, so I can now say I have made a pair of Holland & Holland guns including barrel making ,engraving ,action, stocking, stock checkering etc

Interesting idea and very nice work !

Yeah, but are those locks hand detachable?

Absolutely stunning.

Outstanding as always,thanks for sharing with us.

The customer who commissioned this decanter bought the matched pair of guns from Holts of London auctioneers, a few years ago ,in the Holts catalogue the estimate was £22,000-£25,000 but I don't know what he actually paid for them , but certainly beyond my pocket

Now that is cool!!
I've looked at some of the other etchings you have posted and you, sir, are talented!

Very nice indeed.

Very nice. You should approach H&H to sell your decanters with every gun they make

Amazing detail!

reddy375 makes an excellent suggestion.

You left out the leather covered pads, but the rest is elegant.

Beautiful work. Damn I wish I had a skill that intricate.

I thought single barrel whiskey was the best

Stunning work.

I'm sure its even more stunning when held in the hand.
