Just over a century ago, strength and a bit of flexibility in steel

was still achieved by folding together metals of different types.

This particular barrel is a masterpiece of that craft. Thanks for

looking and comments welcome.

Thanks, Steven. This was taken on the fly in someone's kitchen, looking over their shoulder as they ogled this fine old gun. I'd love to have a chance with the piece in a studio setting with control of the light, but sometimes those as-found shots are more compelling. This was a beauty, though, and demanded a shot on the spot.

It takes some skills to catch a shot like this on the fly. Beautiful steel (and hands) and great capture. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours, Matt. It's good knowing you.

Me gusta la composicion: la pieza de metal dividiendo drasticamente el fotograma en dos y la mano en la oscuridad introduciendo un toque humano. Bonita foto y bonito color. Siento no poder escribir en ingles, tu lo has hecho muy bien en espaniol, gracias!

Obviously a beautiful gun, and a very interesting shot too.

 

I'll like to see it with the fore end attached, bet that's just as elegant.
