Oh such a fun topic as I'm constantly assessing and re-assessing what I'd like to add next to the group.
I'd like to find a 16 gauge Lindner Charles Daly Diamond Quality model 225? (extractor, no gold inlay, multiple game scenes) with 28" barrels, chokes on the tighter side and a POW style grip at a price I could afford (Won't be happening anytime soon).
Or a Manufrance Ideal 6R EE, without the through lumps, in 16 gauge from the early 1920's sporting 28" barrels with engraving by the same hand that did my 12 gauge (I look but I can't find).
Or an Fox A grade extractor in 16 gauge done in the early style A grade engraving, which I've come to like better than the later style. Very clean and simple and allows, IMHO, the quality and beauty of the CCH, the barrel bluing and the wood to take precedence.
Those are what I go to sleep dreaming about.
