I knew I wanted a double in 1993 or 94. I didnt get my first one until 1999. It was a Zabala Hermanos 12ga. My dear wife bought me that one.
My first quality double was an LC Smith Ideal 16ga, and I have been hooked on old American doubles ever since. They remind me of slower, simpler times, when good numbers of game birds abounded, before barbed wire fences abounded, when one could ask permission of his neighbor to hunt his fields and he said yes.
I sometimes feel I was born 100yrs too late.
