Default The Best Kearsarge Pair of Stocks

For me, the best pair of Kearsarge stocks is shown in the following
picture. These are my stocks, on one of my McGivern guns that Jim
Olsen recently sold. You will see this design on the third page of the
catalog that Geoff posted, above. Its called the McGivern model.
Jim also had a lot of correspondence by Ed Mcgivern. One was a letter
to his friend/benefactor Walter Groff, discussing his pleasure with
the stocks that Kearsarge had made for him, to fit his smaller
hands.

Another interesting aspect of these grips is that, unlike the traditional
initials in the bottom left corner of the right grip, this pair has Ed's
full signature.
