WTF? Really? Custom W Mk3 at auction.

John you love it because it actually is a nice stock. Don Robbo had to sign a contract saying he wouldn't add his usual execrable flourishes and the original buyer then held his family hostage while he made it to ensure he didn't stray off-piste...

LOL.

You’re right though, DR was best when he was doing his least DR-like stocks.

I’ve never seen any of his engraving without thinking both that it’s really talented and that it’s really horrible

Are you thinking of Don Blocksidge, who did metal engraving on airguns? I thought Don Robinson was mostly a wood man, could be wrong though.

The late Don Robinson was a very talented woodsmith.

He worked on two guns for me and both jobs were excellent. However, I did brief him properly so he know exactly what I wanted.

Some of the publicised work he did was garish to most people's mind but he was a very talented and nice chap.

Ah, yes i was. My mistake

I know what you mean about the engraving though. Beautifully done, just debatable whether it belongs on an airgun. Each to their own, I suppose.
