"I have a Sterlingworth 16 gauge made in 1924 that came from Maryland. From the looks of it when I got it it must have been used as a paddle by a Chesapeake Bay oyster man. At 86 years old it still on face, snaps shut with authority and handle "store bought" ammunition with ease."

I have a one year older(1923) 12ga Sterlingworth I've owned for over 40 years that also continues to function flawlessly. It digested numerous cases of high base "Duck Loads" for years before I or anyone else knew any better and still closes like a bank vault. The barrels are also properly draw filed as any good hardware store gun of this period would be.
