Congratulations Dig. I bought a Joseph Lang 16 bore (rebarreled in damascus by James Woodward) that you brought over here to the auction in Columbia several years ago. I'm glad to know that you'll be leading the company now.

I have the letter on my Lang from Ken but what will it take to get a photocopy of the Lang book #1 page listing my guns info? It would be so neat to actually see the handwriting recording my Lang 144 years ago.

My Lang was completed 6 March 1866 and I've put over 2900 cartridges through it since I bought it 2 1/2 years ago - quality lasts. I'll shoot it at the Vintage Cup this year and take it quail hunting. There's just something special about shooting quail with a non-rebounding hammer gun.
