Victorian 20-bore hammer guns are not often to be found with long barrels. However, Cashmore seems to have made a few. I had one in stock with 32" damascus barrels and thought it unique. This week I bought another - with 31" damascus barrels and pistol grip stock.
The two guns have very similar actions. I just boiled off the metal parts and the locks have come up internally very bright and burnished. Still a good bit of original finish outside too.
I paid too much for this from the 80 year old who had owned it since 1941 but I felt this might actually be a 20-bore I could shoot with. I normally shoot small bore guns like a monkey plays a banjo.
I'll have a go at some pigeons with it later this month - in my view one of the very best ways to get acquainted with a gun.
