Very interesting. I wish they did a clear closeup of the engraving details.

The beavertail forends are a bit odd to look at on H&H SXSs.

Thanks for sharing.

One would have to say that the "work of art" aspect of these guns is more considerable than the actual guns, themselves! Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Wow.
1 question.
How much would a gun like that cost?

I agree the set would easily run into seven figures plus Philippe Grifnee engraving means a long long wait maybe 5 years to complete the set.

Hopefully H&H will make a set to commemorate the American War of Independence :wink:
