I’ll give you guys a hint, the smith that did this one retired, I think.

Mr. Franklin lives down the road about 5 miles from my dad. I have never met him but my father said he's a heck of a nice guy.

I know one gunsmith that is easily identified by his use of a form tool for barrel crowning, complete with scratch marks in the bore... Relax gentlemen, he isn't in the US....

So, did I finally get the photo to show?

If so, do you recognize the gunsmith's work?

Hint: the purchaser wanted if "Just like Jack O'Connors"
