Yes, it's gorgeous! I've had some offers that are unreal. The best offer was from a guy that collects glass ware. He does not have this vase but has most of the others. He has some Parker vases as well, I didn't know they made them. It's a strange thing we've created by collecting and we turn up some strange items that way. I repaired an L.C. Smith gun a few years back that was a 20 gauge on one side and a 12 gauge on the other. The gun was absolutely correct. I'm still in contact with the guy but it's not for sale. Odd things that pop up from time to time! ( I tried to post this earlier but it didn't make it for some reason). Jerry

I'm having some camera issues, but I'll see what I can figure out. I hate the technical side of things! Jerry

I have a Fox Sterlingworth that is chambered 12 bore on the left & 45/70 on the right that I am told is factory original.

Best Regards, George

Your Fox gun seems most interesting! I love to see pictures!
It's strange all the things that are out there, really makes all of this interesting. I'm trying to gain some good knowledge on the Hunter Arms ledger pages I have. I can't really figure out what they are or to what they pertain. They are written in fountain pen type writing and make mention to many measurements and other things, some of which appear to be 3 barrel guns. I have someone going over them now that is an absolute authority on the L.C. Smith guns. He is not connected to any of the " gun boards " on the internet, probably has the most extensive collection of early Smith guns in the world so I'm most curious to see what he finds. Jerry
