My Father loved doubles and infected me. Although he had money (and then some) he stuck to shooting three doubles and stopped (German Guild 16 BLNE-Hodgson 12 SLNE hammergun-Browning Superposed). He talked about Best Guns, had all the books and magazines like DGJ, but having grown up in the depression he could not bring himself to spend the money on a Best gun.
I brought and tried giving him a Best gun, but he would not take it, though he would shoot it with me. He would have gagged at my spending on my retirement Best Guns lately, but he did infect me.
