Mills,

I was married once before and we were country mice. A city girl called my wife one day and asked what it was like living with me. Her response was, "Just like having a 12 year old brother that can buy beer." She nailed it. I still have hope Rich will adopt me.

Julia likes the 28 inch one.

Now that lady has it right a Parker for horizontal barreled guns and as her shell pouch says (if I read it correctly) Krieghoff for vertical barreled guns :cool:

That pouch is as close as we will get to a Krieghoff, I am afraid. Had a chance to buy an old one that was a multi barrel set for like 4 grand but didn't have the change laying around

Some more photos. This is the 28" one.

Harry I'm not much of a beer drinker but bring some bourbon and we can discuss arrangements.:whistle:

This is interesting. Check out the different sizes of stocks on these two. Both 16 gauge 0 frames. The smaller stock appears to be from a much later gun.

Rich, I have expensive taste, but I'm an easy keeper.

We will get along just fine then. Are you coming to the Southern?

I have a .410 with a large #1 frame butt and stock, and I also have a 1/2 frame 12 that has a #0 frame stock factory carved down to a #00 frame size stock. It is hard to believe until you put it in your hands. There is some weird stuff out there, factory original. What material is Julia's pouch made from? It doesn't look like it's up to her level of quality. Let's talk.
