Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Likewise, Craig, never met him but had a Spartan that sported his work, stunning, as said, another talent lost

Got a few webley's done by Don. He did a lovely job and my late dad's Webley MK1 pistol. A lovely guy also. RIP Don. Mach 1.5

A sad loss of someone you'd class as an old school craftsman. R.I.P.

RIP Don .
Sad news for the family..
And sadness that the tap of the tools now sound silent

Very sad news indeed, he was a true craftsman.
I'm not a particular fan of engraved air guns, but have one of his earliest examples of an engraved 'Through the Blue' Webley Senior, fitted with standard grips. When I spoke to Don about this he vaguely remembered doing it, but most of his later examples were done 'In the Silver' and refinished after engraving.
Below are some photographs of said Senior. The grips were acquired later.

RIP Don. I never met him but spoke to him a few times when I had 2 rifles engraved by him some time ago. Wouldn't it be a fitting tribute to have a few pics up on this thread of his craftsmanship?
I have a few pics of an ISP AND GC2 scimtar I could add but no idea how to ;-)
