My favourite Pigeon gun,that I wish could talk,is an E.M.Reilly bar-in wood 12 bore with Whitworth steel barrels circa 1885 with 2 3/4" chambers,30" mod. and full and nitro proofed. It has a large capital "B" in 24 carat gold where the oval would normally be and was purported to have belonged to the Duke of Bedford,who was an avid pigeon shot. Without documentation, however, it could just as easily be Bob the Postman....

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
