I've posted this before, but my avatar is my J. Probin (Maker to His R.H. the Prince of Wales) 20 bore officer's dueller, ca. 1785. I shoot it, and it is pictured on a target shot with it at 12 yards, in duelling cadence (shot fired within 3 seconds, from the lowered position).

I’m going to camp out in their yard until they fill my order. Maybe they will feed me.

They were very nice to me. I got the parts I needed, and a nice tour. I arrived too late for lunch, left before supper.

Before I traveled there I had called and left a couple messages, and it was a few days before Jane replied. But when she did she was very cordial, and very nice in person.

Like I said in my thread, she never left the phones for the 3 hours i was there... they stay busy as far as I can tell.
 
Here's another one - one of my regular shooters. I don't know who made it, or when, but it is nicely done. The lock is Spanish (modern), but has been worked-over, and the frizzen has been properly hardened and tempered, so it is very reliable. It's a .45, and rifled: quite accurate. The wire inlays to the stock are a nice touch. It has a name on the top barrel flat, but I have not been able to identify it with the maker or owner.
