Default Fine Double (kinda)

At a gun show again today not much going on but did find this.An old double gun made into a lamp.Could not resist it will look good in my lodge.Should be a good conversation piece.
I'm kind of glad it wasn't a parker but then that would have been cool.Probably been alot more than I paid for this.

That would be one way to go.I can say this, my wife was not as excited about it as me when I brought it home.
It was kind of hard to sneek in since it would not fit in any gun case I had either.Light bulb was a dead give away.

In the seventies, there was a dealer at the Maryland Arms Collectors Association Show in Baltimore who displayed a nice Parker eight gauge lamp with a hole drilled through the breech ball for the wire. I wonder where that gun is today? It is probably someone's prized Parker eight with the hole welded up. As I recall, the price at the time was around a hundred bucks.

That would have been nice if it was a parker but how would you decide on which to committ to the remainder of its years to setting atop a pedestal.
Just would not seem right.
I am glad it is the gun it is.Still will always be way to start a conversation about double guns.
