The A-1 frame like your #51xx is so much more elegant than the plain frame or the later profiled frame. What great guns yours are.

A friend had a long tang, round knob, A-1 grade three barrel small gauge set that was made for his dad in Puerto Rico. It was brokered through Great Britain. It was the only such gun I had ever seen or heard of. Somehow, it was destroyed, metal and wood, and he contracted a very well known Browning restorer who restocked it in very incorrect style and color and did a mediocre job on the metal. I won't mention any names because I am not sure his information on the gunsmith was correct. The gun would need $4000 of work to correct the errors.

If the guns live where there are no worms, then you get no worm holes. Simple as that.

A buddy who has a nice collection of Darne guns also owns a 1961 30” barreled Superposed Lightning that I have shot a couple remarkable rounds (for me) of trap with.

But, I can’t wait to put the damn thing down when a round is over. It feels like there is too much of everything, everywhere, when I am holding it.

Best,
Ted
