My first double was a Sterlingworth 16 gauge. I got it for a song because the previous owner had stored it wet in a wool-lined case. The resultant rust pits were then buffed out and the barrels re-blued. Very wavy, and I shudder to think how thin the barrels were. I found that it shot magically, but even back then I viewed those thin barrels with suspicion and soon swapped it off on my first L.C.Smith. The rest is history, as they say!
