Not art photography but: the Ithaca NID 16 gauge, my “Elmer Keith” gun, is back with an authentic 30’s- era Art Deco “Rising Sun” butt pad- wouldn’t have one without it.
And the perfect little 20 is also back from Beretta in NY courtesy of Andrew Campbell, with a leather- covered pad that makes it 3/4″ longer, some invisible but necessary repair, and all screws aligned and indexed. Should be good for another lifetime of shooting. Thanks to Andrew and gunsmith Ed Anderson…
I love that leather-covered pad. I'm going to try and do one this winter if I can get the shop squared away in time.
Lookin' at that Ithaca with the cool sunburst pad has for some reason got me humming The Boss's Born in the USA…
EXACTLY.
