Hudson Valley Fowler by Ken Gahagan

The architecture and carving of this piece is based on an original. The mounts on the original were English but for this example I made Dutch mounts. The butt plate is hand swaged from  sheet. The lock is a new Dutch style lock from The Rifle Shoppe and barrel is a 52" 20 gauge all round from Getz.

    Outstanding! I've been drooling over your work at Dixon's for the past few years, and this is a fine example of why.
