Went to vintage car.museum today in Tallahassee. It had alot of other things beside old cars. Now one thing I like the.most was a 1909 dewitt I think its called. I could imagine driving it to the hunting field in the early morning with a then new parker in its case in the back seat I could almost vision it. Im up loading pictures to my photobucket I will post. Also they had a lcsmith in what I assumed was 12 ga it looked like a field model with damascus barrels. It.had no pitting on the receiver . Also seen a collection of gold plated brownings bps and a lever action. Oh and a original "vampire hunter kit " . Very neat day. Still the Lincoln herse felt odd being 2 feet away from it. Could have done without that part haha. Oh seen a long tail boat motor from 1924 and some solid wood steam powered boats that reminded me of market waterfowl or old school pre 1918 waterfowlin.I figured y'all would enjoy seeing other classic american items gives you idea how things were back when sxs were in there golden years.

There is a fine gun shop in Tallahassee to but I was wearing jeans and a white T shirt. So I wasn't dressed appropriate for that kinda of shop lol.

Well I've looked at their site they have one gun I liked a parkers ph I.think in 10 ga with 36" barrels but my prices range is 1500$ or.less with layaway lol. They are asking 15,000$ . If I had that much id buy that parkers hammer 8 ga at pugs. Looks kinda like charlies but with 32" barrels and a yellowish varnish. Any how any thing like 12 or smaller ga doesn't interest me I find standarderness and commoninality if that's a word boring. I hope to someday have a 8,32,24 ga sxs guns. Mostly a 8 though. If I had a bucket list having a sxs 8 ga would be #2 on the list lol.
