Chantry: Sadly, that is so-true.

While it's not-exactly a British Best... the firing pins have springs that pull them back from the breech after firing(!) and the hammers fall well-below the line-of-sight when cocked. All of the screwheads are still timed & perfect and the original dogs-head(?) Ithaca Trap Gun buttplate is still in place. The standing breech is flawless and I could not find any issues in the wood, anywhere. This gun has been used very-little and then it has been stored very-carefully for the last 124 years.

I simply had no choice in the matter.
