I confess I was the high and only bidder on the C grade 10 gauge hammer gun. The current plan for the gun is to have the barrels redone, the cracks in the wood repaired and the checkering freshened up. All the engraving looks sharp in the photos so maybe do nothing with it or highlight it with background antique. One thing that didn't look right to me were the hammer screws. They look smaller than usual and I couldn't see any engraving on them. The seller sent me additional photos of the muzzles and the barrels appear to be original length. TPS lists only one 10 gauge C grade hammer gun with 28" barrels so the gun seems to be a rare one. My plan is to find a 2 gun case to combine this gun and my C 20 hammer gun to make a waterfowl/turkey/dove/upland set. The guns were manufactured 20 years apart but I think it would make a neat set. I will know more once I receive the gun and request a letter.
