Grainy photos. Let's see them.

Inspired by Pinfire's "allure" thread. The subjects are grainy, not the photos.
I'll start with a modest example. This is late 19th century Anson and Deeley patent box lock ejector by an irishman working in Darlington, William Forrestall Smythe.

Well this one’s about wood so the fact the gun isn’t finished can be excused. Original stock was broken beyond repair. So said CJO. I took his word on that and sent the gun and a blank to Chris Dawe. It’s a Damascus barreled Sauer sidelock 12 gauge from around 1895.

Have a few more pics of some other grainy wood an hopefully catches the eyes of some!! Pics of Fox Sterlingworth with restocked woods obviously. Others a Perazzi MX8 Mirage built in 1975 and engraved by Angelo Galiatzzi!! The others a Weatherby 257 but still a bit grainy. The 20 gauge Fox is well over 100 years old.

That Coggie is fantastic. Is that what happens when a walnut tree grows symbiotically with Psilocybins?

This is my all-time fanciest grade stock I've ever owned, or maybe even seen first-hand. Definitely some dandies in the threads before. Thanks for posting.
A person's preference is subjective but um... I like a little crotch. (not the naughty bits you pervert). Next gun doesn't have crotch but does have birds-eye.
So this is a very early hammerless gun, a Thomas Woodward sidelock patent 1876. I presume made between 1876 and their improved second patent of 1880. It is a pretty exceptional gun and had been back to the proof house for nitro.
