I started buying these in the 60s, and have had them in .410-12ga, and from .22 Hornet, on up. Perhaps my 'cutest' one was a 28ga hammer over 25-35, a 1922 Kreighoff. It's mate was in .22hornet under a pair of 20s. My brother in law followed my advice and bought the Peterlongo vierling (4 barrels).410/.410 over .22 Hornet/.22Hornet, a hammer gun no less. I beat him to the double .22 Hornet over .410.
This is one I've held onto, made eby Inman Meffert, and perhaps his finest action. According to those more in the know than me, only 15 made. Sideclips are nice, as is the scallop shell crossbolt head. But, the main reason I've kept it is that it has barrel lugs under EACH barrel.

The hares are better than I can capture, and the Stag arelifelike, but come on Dean, that has to be the ugliest grouse ever. Either that or he's just pissed off.

Yeah, that's a cock capercaille trying to impress a female. They are really big grouse and revered as "big" game in europe.
