Pachmayer, his last gun.
Not the last gun he owned but the last that was to be gifted to Frank from his brother John. The interesting story is John commissioned this as a gift to Frank on his 70th birthday. Arguably perhaps the highest grade box lock ever made by Webley. By my count, 57 gold inlays not counting the gold line work. Before he could deliver it to Frank John died and the gun went into his estate. His widow consigned all his guns to the Martin B. Retting Inc. store in Culver city, CA. Frank was unaware that this 702 Special was among the guns until I mentioned to him that I bought it from Rettings. For those of you who knew Frank you can imagine what it was like trying to leave his shop. At any rate I know there was interest in Pachmayer guns on this forum but I could not find the thread. Thought some might like to see a Pachmayer that was not an upgrade and had interesting provenance.
It is a 20gauge with open chokes for birds in one set and tight for ducks in the second.
