Beautiful. That combo will do it all. Looks like Brian Powley did the excellent engraving.

Fantastic. I am sure that was a hard set for someone to let go, given the history of the folks and the special hunts over the years at the YO. Whatcha got planned for a carrying case for those beauties, besides your gun safe?
