Yes, it's an SO9 EELL. I love nice shotguns, and before I got married and had kids, I had a handful of high end SxS shotguns...high end to me, anyway. I didn't have any London best guns. After the wife and kids, I couldn't justify them anymore and sold them. I've still got a circa 1899 L.C. Smith O grade and a Philly Fox Sterlingworth.

Tulip,I still have all my shotguns,3 of the SO9's,and a few H&H and 3 Purdys.My wife and I both shoot Kreighoffs.It's probably time to start thinnig them out as I dont shoot as often,because of my age.I still shoot live pidgeons,but have pretty much given up skeet.My wife has won a lot of tournaments,state,and some world titles best regards Gary

Gary,
In one of you threads you talked of the resin you used to make the scales. You have one of my razors to polish/rescale now. The WB that I wanted purple/green scales. Anyway would your resin hold up to being cast into a brush handle blank to mach the razor? and is it "workable" such as cut in a lathe, drilled for the knot and polished with micromesh? It could be either a cube or a rough handle shape.
