I picked up a nice CS Rosson BLE out of Holt's not long ago, used it on Blues last fall with good results. I really like it, pretty gun, well made and I shoot it pretty well. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rcJiCZql.jpg) That's a nice looking gun Steve. What gauge? I have never shot a blue. Definitely need to do a trip for that someday. Sooner than later too. I like my two Cashmore's more than of my other double. One is a 32" Hammer gun, the other is a 26" Paragon. I shoot both equally well, though one is close to 8# iirc, and the other is 6# even. Both have about 3" of drop and a whole bunch of cast off - probably just under an 1"

The Rosson is a 12 bore, pretty engraving too. I'll try for better pics at some point.

Brent, can we see pictures of your Cashmore? A friend has a couple of unusual Cashmores and is interested in those pigeon guns.

My present grouse gun is a very plain 16 bore double hammer gun by Arthur Howell. It has 28 inch barrels, choked cylinder and improved modified. The stock even has 1/4" inch of cast off.

I think I know the pigeon guns you are referring to, and I have momentarily forgotten their name. Very striking and different. This is actually a Christchurch gun and quite plain. But it is very well made and fits me well. I also like the hammer design/layout. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TSLVB40.jpg) This is the Paragon with a nice hidden third fastener ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/hcWwz33.jpg)

I agree on the Cashmores. Many made for the U.S. and Australian market. Had a wonderful, cased, Cashmore Imperial sidelock, and have a Cashmore Nitro, 3” engraved on every visible part, even under the forend. Similar gun used to win the Great American Handicap at the turn of the last century. Whitworth barrels and fine delicate decoration.

The most interesting Cashmore. I believe this is what your friend may have, eightbore. ![[Linked Image from vintageguns.co.uk]](https://www.vintageguns.co.uk/images/ImageLib/N2_2.jpg)

I have a WM Sumners sxs with a Scott back action, crystal cocking indicators and lever cocking. A wonderful gun to shoot. Made some where between 1875 and 1887 in 41 Old Wall Street, Liverpool. Very well balanced and floats up to sight acquisition. Exceptionally nice to shoot.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
