The only one here who mentioned anything about class, was you. That said, to a pre WWI share cropper, with a bunch of mouths to feed, it might be hard to imagine anything classier than a Remington model 10, or a Winchester model 12.
You can't eat engraving, after all.
Congrats on your very first post that has anything remotely to do with double guns (very remotely) douchebag. Why you bless us with such esteemed presence is one of life's more dubious mysteries.
I'm guessing the online vinyl love companion sites are down this week, eh?
Best,

Ted, my grandfather was a pre-WWI share cropper - in fact he bought his first piece of land from my father who sold it to him just before WWII so he could go to college.
Granddad would have loved a pump - all he could afford was an "Allen Hardware Co." single shot. My nephew now has the gun with clear instructions not to shoot it. It is so loose that unless you push the barrel up the firing pin won't hit the primer. And, yes, it is the first shotgun that I ever shot - complete with instruction to push the barrel up so that it would fire. If I had known then what I know now I would have been scared but, as they say, ignorance is bliss and an 8 year old will do anything with granddad.
