Milton, my original, lettered, 3 1/2" ten gauge is a Grade 1 Twist Steel gun. It was made prior to modern 3 1/2" factory ammunition. Another is a DH #3 frame 12, sleeved to 3 1/2" ten by Frank Lefever and Son. It is about the best sleeve job I have ever seen. The rib was remarked "Lefever Steel" in Parker style stamps. I found it walking around the Chantilly, VA show. The owner was embarrassed to tell me it was not an original Parker. Oh well.

For Bill's benefit, is it within forum rules to start a GoFundMe pot to defray the expenses for someone to go to Bill's and instruct him in the vagaries of cameras, and perhaps, while he is there, to snap several hundred pictures?

John, thanks for caring. If you get up my way, stop in. By the way, Milton, I think my 3 1/2" ten is a six frame. Best of both worlds. I have seen English tens with Damascus barrels nitro proved for 3 1/2" tens and 2 or 2 1/4 ounces of shot. One was a hammer Purdey in high condition which I foolishly did not buy. I wouldn't be afraid to shoot this six frame with modern 3 1/2" tens.

We were back on the Eastern Shore this fall, visiting places of my youth, but I think I was on the wrong side of the bay, or I would have tried to look you up
