It has original barrel wall thickness left some 140 years later and shoots clays and birds as well as the best of them. I could buy a dozen more just like it before I'd be in the Boss O/U price category. There, you wanted a comment, so there's a comment! Last edited by Rookhawk; 03/13/12 02:43 PM.

USofA	Originally Posted By: Mike Bailey Crazy money, some stuff seems to sell in the USA for quite a lot more than it would in Europe, what was the provenance ? best, Mike I think Greggory Elliot said it best, it was a gun that resided Stateside all of its life, hardly ever shot, and never sent back to England for annual degrading by refinishing. So in essence it was an unshot gun from what is becoming the new "Golden Age" for English guns---between the wars. Earler guns had better craftsmanship (Pre-WWI) but most were shot to death and always monkeyed with. People who ordered guns in the 30's were blissfully unaware that WWII was looming, and if they made it back from the war, shooting opportunities just were not there. So now we are finding the best condition English Guns are from that period and whose craftsmanship is a notch above what it is today. These were truly handmade guns from that era -Clif Watkins
