Dutch,

Thank you for the very fast reply. I do not have any idea of prices or anything else - just chatted with Richard, his colleague Ian Clarke, who is another master who will be working on the gun, and the great Robin Brown of A. A. Brown. I do know that they would be happy to have a commission, but they plan to go ahead even if they don't have one, from what I understand.

I would be happy to put you in direct touch with Richard. He is a very nice person to talk to, if you are interested. I just offered to try and find him a gun to examine in the UK.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do. Good hunting!
