Hawg, I'll try to find out. I haven't lived there in many years and have no idea if he is even in business any longer.

Here's another relic. It too has the swirled damacus patterns and is stamped "Laminated Steel". It has a very interesting latch to open the breech, as can be seen in the pictures below. Other than the stamp between the barrels the only other markings are underneath the right barrel on the frame, only visible when the breech is open. There's the letter "M" with a small bell on top and the same thorn like image that's on the Zulu gun. Does this designate the same maker for both or is it some common image from that time period that stands for something else? The hammer on the right side is lose and keeps falling off. What type of adhesive should be used to fasten it? The pictures make the gun look horribly rusted but it's not. This is just the brown damacus patterns. Does this gun look familiar to anyone?
