This gun has nothing to do with the Col. Geo V. Tarnovski order of March 5th 1914. It is the first 16 gauge A-1. Its order was placed May 18th 1907.It has alot of similarities to the gun pictured in the first post. Thank Mr. Bishop for asking his question which caused this post.

Just got back from SoDak. I don't understand what all the hoopla is about. We displayed the gun and case discussed at the NRA Convention last May, about 80,000 people saw it , the picture of Tsar Nicolas and and the DGJ article in which it was featured. The article will answer all questions here far better than I could. The DGJ article contains far better photos than I could ever take, such is the artistry of Bill Headrick.
Whether it will be at the NRA Convention in Houston, I can't say. It depends. For those who were there, the gun was right behind us. The fellows behind us are looking at it. |

Jim, that is one awesome gun you have! I have been fortunate to see it displayed, I love that deep engraving, Correct me if I am wrong but didn't someone close to you buy the gun new, some of the guys would love to hear about that! Gary

The article on "Not the Czar's Gun" is in Double Gun Journal Volume 12 issue 4 by Bill Headrick. Jim Hall, has your gun been featured in a Parker Pages or Double Gun Journal article? I would like to read about it.

I believe there was a DGJ story about Jim's gun.
