The number of 10G hammer guns that I have seen in the past in S.W.Ontario is surprising! I believe this results from the fact that they were the weapon of choice of serious duck hunters during the late 1800,s. At one time I had some spectacular 10.G Hammer Guns in my collection, including examples by,W.R.and H&H. But by far the most interesting, was a ball and shotgun made and exhibited by J.& W. Tolley,at the Philadelphia International Exhibition of 1876.This splendid gun was profusely engraved with North American scenes
These days Vintage IO.G. guns seldom show up in the Ontario market.
