Nice gun SKB. Good English single barrel breech loading guns are surprisingly scarce and even more so if they are hammerless. Worth having a real good look over for any clues as to the maker such as odd initials appearing on the barrels underneath. I too would have snapped that one up. Lagopus.....

My dad had one of the H&R model 3, in 12 ga, 28 inch modified choke.
That was the first shotgun I shot. Kicked an 11 y/o like the proverbial mule.
It went down the road years ago before I had a chance to get it.
I've been looking for one for a long time since then.

I never owned a 220, but I did have a 219 with 3 barrels, 20ga,.22 Hornet and .30-30 Winchester. Nice little gun, but the trigger was too heavy for the rifle calibers.

Savage 219/220 website is www.savagesingleshots.com. Although fairly popular when they made 'em, these Savages aren't common now, especially in decent, un-bubbaed condition.

First shotgun I ever shot was an H&R #5 lightweight in 28ga. It belonged to an Uncle (by marriage) so I never owned it.

Steve - the little single 16 looks to be a dandy. A rifle barrel to go with it will make it even more so. But you're probably already thinking about that….

I viewed this single barrel 16 bore at Gavin Gardiner's auction yesterday. It goes under the hammer today: http://www.gavingardiner.com/BidCat/detail.asp?SaleRef=0027&LotRef=280From what I could make out it is of European manufacture. There is no visible serial number and there is no mention of a single barrel 16 in the Beesley ledger. I therefore assume it to be a cheap grade gun for a child or lady to potter about with.

< http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=551876170> Here's a Meriden hammerless single on GunBroker. I had missed that one. I'm surprised Iver Johnson never had one in their line-up. I guess if you consider SBTs there would be many more, but they are in somewhat of a different league. No doubt the Brit and Euro singles are much more attractive! ..Geo

I've owned a few of the Italian "Companion" under lever hammerless singles. A 12 gauge with a 30" barrel was my first shotgun. Still have it, and the box it came in.
They are a lot higher quality than the various American singles, hammerless, or, not.
Best,
Ted
