Geo I gave it to him almost 25 years ago. I am sure I have a old photo of it somewhere if the Ex did not throw them all out. She got nasty towards the end. He has the rifle and as you can understand I am in no hurry to get it. But rest assured that is one rifle I will never part with and the son who gets it after me will understand what it is and why he has to clean it three times a year. Not four but three times.
I did inherit my uncles, fathers younger brother, Crescent .410 so that shows you how fancy my family was with doubles. He was deadly with it on quail. I take it dove hunting once every year to remember him and his struggles in life. He had a mild case of Polio as a boy, then Scarlett Fever. Even as a young boy he seemed terribly crippled to me. Man lived to 80, crippled with arthritis and the effects of Polio. Never complained, never retired, never asking for help or even accepting a handicapped parking tag. You learn a lot from watching a man like that.
