i thought of this thread when i happened to pick up doublegun journal 2010 - #3, and reread jack rowe's article "how to identify & describe fences"; wherein, he identifies four basic shapes of fences.

plain ball, long and short
cutaway
ball and bead
ball, bead and cutaway

article is on page 131 if you're so inclined.

best regards,
tom

Yes and that 10 was probably what Raimey calls a gestik ( I probably spelled wrong) where the gunmaker bought a kit from SD&G and finished it their way. But if that gun would have been a 16ga I would have paid the asking price, its beautiful!

Please let us know the weight of the gun when received. It looked to be a rather heavy bugger.
Very attractive, but massive by the appearance of the barrel walls.

Oh I didn’t buy it. I posted about it in September and let them know in other thread. I don’t like heavy guns. The xive Sauer is too heavy at 7.5lbs for me. I waterfowl hunted with Spanish 10ga sxs for decade or so almost 13lbs, not now I’m 53 and out of shape. No thanks
