Got to go put $ into the bank. Great selling show. Here is a bit more info.
One gun is maybe 1910 time frame. Just an estimate. About 26", nice dimensions, beautiful condition. Slight variation in engraving pattern, but the same coverage and English style scroll. Fluid steel. Nice drop & LOP. I got it first then thought of one I'd had numerous years ago & traded to a nice older gentleman. I went looking for him and found his regular table with his son there. The dad had passed, but at 91 had had a good life. The son prefers 28 gauge. I traded him a nice 20 Ga Elsie and both were happy. It has the same feel/balance/look but is an earlier gun...about 600/800 s/n range while the newer gun is 1000/1200. I'll double check later. The earlier gun is gorgeous Damascus and is about 28".
We have discussed the s/n's before. One is on the barrels, the other is elsewhere. Maybe one relates to total guns and one to Daly guns. One can think of other scenarios, but this is as good a theory as any. The range difference runs from just over 200 on early guns to the higher 200's on later guns.
Ted, I'll think of you and how tough it is to shoot them this Fall. :)))
