There is a name for this later method but I can't remember what its called. The other method is to relieve just a little, if at all, then stipple the inside of the outline, then hammer on the gold figure. There are two ways to put on a gold figure, true inlay where the outline is relieved and the edges back cut, the inlay put in, and then pinned in place under the back cut. Jeff - Bob did tell me that they made 48 pigeons and that they did indeed make more Super Pigeons.although I did not know how many.Īs to the inlays falling out, Ken and I talked about a related subject. I recently bought a completely awe inspiring blank of extremely marbled English Walnut from Cecil Fredi and am agonizing over who to do the stock work (hey, anything worth doing is worth obsessing over, no?)Įven so, I would buy a factory SP if I came across one.cause its factory. Much better scene, much more intricate scroll work, gold wire frame.but still true to the overall intent and tradition of the 12-5 pattern. Instead I bought a slick sided late serial number NIB (88149)and Ken Hurst is engraving it now.gold inlay game scenes, upland on left and waterfowl on the right.not the factory pattern, I believe that this will be an order of magnitude better composition and engraving. I got tired of dancing around with him, didn't think he was serious and thought he could wasted someone else's time.
But, its in excellent condition and its mine (yeah, hoarding runs in the family)īy the by, my name is Stephen Meyers and I live rather close to, and am friends with, Bob Finger who posts here.we both miss Bob Baumgart, I just liked the fella.īob did turn me on to a fella who had a Super Pigeon that he "wanted" to sell.but he would never name a price, just wanted me to make an offer. The Kusmit engraved Pigeon that used to show on Bob's website was better than my gun. I wouldn't call it great engraving, it was a production job done to a price point, but I still love it, I understand that only 48 pigeons were made (per Boomer).
At one time Ken's company was the outsourced engraver for Win and did the pigeons.maybe the SP also. Came with factory paper and when shown to Ken Hurst he said, "yep, that was engraved in my shop". Hi Jeff - I wish I got your Super Pigeon.no, this is a Pigeon, serial 0036 I believe (would need to go the safe and check.36 or 38.I can never remember without looking).
