Thanks Ted. Super nice of you.

I have my moments.

Very nice gun, best of luck with the sale.

A good photo of the flats of the barrels would give us information about how it was proofed. Do consider getting a photo of that to me to post here for you. Most of the guys here really want to see that, in addition to the rest of the gun.

Best,
Ted

A couple more photos of Paul’s gun:






A picture is worth a 1000 catalog pages. Disc set strikers, 3” chambers, overbored at 18.5mm, and, that elusive proof mark for steel shot.

Future proof, and a hell of a nice gun. I really should tell my kid that college will just have to wait, but, a promise is a promise.

Good luck, Paul.

Best,
Ted
