Not like fresh/crisp, but now-new.

Gatsby - Not in hand yet, but yes.

kamilaroi - Yes, since 2003 they have been building the Paradox guns on their 'Round Action Sidelock'

I don't know if you are getting that particular engraving motif but it fits the roundbody very well.

That is the gun. There is only one. The pattern was recommended by the engraver. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I too think it fits the round body.

Lots of shading and depth in that pattern, truly a very beautiful paradox.

Certainly a superior combination of hammer and hand graver work and if you look closely I can see the interruptions in cutting the facet cut border in cutting same, particularly at the leading edge of the underside of the action. Jest sayin'

BTW the letters are particulary well cut.

Bloody lovely Grenadier, as I said elsewhere I would really love to see how it patterns no.5 or no.6 shot at 30 yds when you have it, best, Mike
