I'm not sure- I wear Ray-Bans-- Maybe a piano bar named after the late Ray Charles??

Possibly that's why the Eightbore shotgun gauge was banned for waterfowling, but NOT the pipsqueek .410 cal. I was re-reading Nash Buckingham's "Are We Shooting Eight-Gauge Guns" recently, there was a sportsman and gunning writer way ahead of his time!

Thanks Dean. The name sounded vaguely familiar but, I couldn't remember why. I would very much like to know his opinion of the gun, since Julia's invited him to offer his opinion. If this gun, that I examined for roughly an hour, maybe a little more, turns out to be a counterfeit I am going to be flabbergasted. I claim to be no expert at aging and discerning true patina from faked, however, I have verified the history of this gun for the last 50 years as near as I can, and can find no possible motive for counterfeiting, given the history of it.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I spoke with Austin a day or two after he examined the gun and he finds no evidence whatsoever that it isn't exactly what it is purported to be - the original Bo-Whoop
