Interesting conversation that I have observed in several of my hobbies. This website is dedicated to an old fashioned sort of tool, the double gun. We like them for many reasons including the care with which they were made and the "romance" of times gone by. Sometimes by a personal or family history. I once had this same sort of conversation at the top of Mount Equinox (Vermont) during a hill climb competition in my vintage sportscar club (VSCCA). Many were wearing fine watches and seemed very knowledgeable and like their cars for the same reasons we like doubles and watches. Flyers and fly fisherman I find can be in the same boat, so to speak. Wooden boat people as well. Many of us own modern or common guns, watches, fishing rods for everyday purposes but some things are just special and peak your interest. I wear a watch everyday, until they made me use a computer I wrote every prescription with a fountain pen. I liked/ like the way it makes me feel. Nobody else needs to know or care, just me. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge in groups like this, nice to hear it and tap into it. tmc
