I still admire that gun though I'll say (as you expect me to) that the finish is too bright and the checking too sharp for a gun of that age and use. I'll bring a few smokeless cartridges I've got on stash and we can see if she shoots next weekend. That is, if I go, I'm still thinking about it.....
