Lancaster question.

[Crow#21957]

I've almost got my late lancaster finished. It has all brass furniture.including pipes and nose cap.It has a nice brass patchbox. My question is would you put barrel pin escutians on it ? If yes I was thinking of German silver small pointed end ovals.
I like silver on the forearm instead of brass.
I do like just the forearm plane also. The cheek piece will have a German silver star.
What do you think?
Yes or go with the old Less is more? Bottom gun of course.
Thankyou

I don't understand all the changes and furniture that changes the names. Anyway I stained it but I probably will put the cheekpiece german silver star in. Getting it in won't be a problem. I can get it real close and maybe not even sand. If I do have to sand. I will already have a template I can cut some blue masking tape stars and put a couple layers over the wood and just sand the star and polish it. What do you think?

Inlays are installed before staining.
