Bob, good luck selling the BSS. But, are you certain the configuration of Nash's 12 bore quail gun included a beavertail forend? In the Life magazine article depicting him quail hunting in Tennessee there are several pics of him carrying/holding the gun, and I cannot see evidence of the forend being a beavertail in any of them. Is there another picture or description that specifies a beavertail?

Good morning Stan.
You’re absolutely right!
What the heck was I thinking?

I meant Ernest Hemingways’ Quail gun.

Ernest Hemingway??? Maybe that explains the way the bottom plate screw is in a crooked position--- ole Ernest may have been a bit unsteady.

Diagonal,
The way they all left the factory.

Bob;
Interesting explanation of the out of align screw slot of the bottom plate. The Japanese are known for their excellent skills of metal working and their excellent abilities to copy and reverse engineer all sorts of devices---how many years have they been sending out angled screws (maybe "rising sun") like that from the factory?

Bushveld, As Bob represented the gun w/the screws “angled” is exactly how the BSS guns of that period did in fact leave the factory. Brett

I was thinking Nash might have balked at the single trigger. Dude never learned to drive.

Nice gun, Bob. GLWS

Best,
Ted

PS. Their Charles Daly line also had the angled screws. Never figured out that one either.
