Jeff it's not a good practice to try to fool us so close to the holidays Santa will put your name on the naughty list....I know this as mine is a permanent fixture there

I did end up with a 12 gauge GHE vent rib Damascus gun. Not a 16, but a nice gun anyhow. The big acquisition is a high condition Whitworth barrelled Purdey hammer pigeon gun. It is a full house round action pigeon gun with 1 1/4 ounce proof, 2 3/4" chambers, side clips, third fastener, and uncut original wood. It is a bar in iron gun, one of the last hammer guns before the present reintroduction. Not a Parker, but a nice find.

Well I did end up with a PH 20ga 1 1/2 frame twist barrel, not sure if I want to restore (it's all ready been played with) or not, it does swing nice... But the major setbacks in the bank account came from a few from across the pond, a pair of 28 gauges, and a 16. They put a serious (and I mean serious) dent into my gun spending for a while..............

This is the 20 ga. DHE I traded my 30" 2 frame CH for. It has clearly seen a lot of use, as evidenced by the minimal remaining checkering on the buttstock, and perhaps less than 50% finish on the barrels, but what I saw when presented with the possible trade, was one of the most beautiful pieces of wood on an early DHE.
When I can clear my bench of some case work, I'll get it apart and send the wood up to Mr. Globe Trotting Dawe.
