George, I knew, when I was bidding, that this gun would be a very successful restoration project. As you know, I was a bit hesitant to pay the big bucks because of the rather thin breeches. I'm sure that is not a problem. Someone on here would be glad to receive the pictures by email and post them for you. It just isn't going to be eightbore. See you at the Vintagers this time, I hope.
