The gun will be used as a prize gun/raffle gun/silent auction for our Chippewa Valley Ruffed Grouse Society chapter. Not sure how yet.

That is really nice, Geoff. It really is. It's so petite and light, and condition is really good. It's obviously been refinished at some point, but it was done very well.

That gun has it all, hard to list all of its drool-worthy attributes. Light, Damascus, POW stock, leather pad, great stock dimensions and barrel length. Case colors like new, I wonder if the locks were re-hardened before the re-proof. If I won that gun I would have to get a pointing dog, as my energetic Boykin in woodcock cover wouldn’t mix too well with a hammer gun.

I can't tell on the locks, but all the work looks really well done to me, so I'd expect that if it needed to be done it was done. My friend Jim expressed the same concern about using a hammer gun over his Springers.

I've been looking at percussion shotguns as well. Fun stuff and enjoy the little 20 bore.
