Kinda regret selling my late FIL's Fox Model B but my MIL needed the money more than I needed the gun. Have only ever sold a couple of others and I bought 'em to sell, so no. Now, guitars and banjos...

Probably my worst "got away" was at the Syracuse show a good 25 years ago. I was examining a C-Grade Three-Barrel Gun Co. single barrel trap gun. While pondering it I set it back in the rack. An arm reached by me, grabbed the C-grade and never put it back.

1908 Three-Barrel Gun Co. catalog page 18 & 19.jpeg

I've never seen another.

Dave, you may not remember but I told you years ago that I had a C grade Three Barrel Gun Co gun. It was falling apart. I contacted Frank Conley about it and he asked me to send it to him which I did. He wanted it to photograph in case he revised his book. He recommended it be sent to Maurice Mudges in up state NY for repair. I got the gun back about 1 year later. I donated the gun to the ATA museum. It's still there. Mike Franzen and John Davis saw it this year.
Now I wish I had never donated it!!!

Herb Parsons' Model 12. Now there's a shotgun I would never sell. 1 gun I let slip through my fingers was the CHE #1 frame vent rib 28" bird gun that Josh has now. It was once General Billy Mitchell's gun and I made a deal for it for $1000 and the seller welshed on the sale. My biggest disappointments were cars and motorcycles I let go for no money. A family '55 Porche Speedster that had never spent a night outdoors, my dad's '58 Corvette, two Suburbans and a Blazer that turned into cult cars, my '74 Country Squire 460, another cult vehicle, and my Harley Low Rider that Linda made me sell to save my life.

Chuck, Mr. Mudges did a wonderful job on the restoration of your C grade.
Very nice donation to the HOF...
1908 Catalog List price for Grade C... $80
