Guns that you turned your nose to but have changed your mind

[Bill Murphy]

I'm a bit spoiled because my first real bird gun at 14 years old was a 28 gauge Parker. This thread has prompted me to write about guns down the rabbit hole, from Foxes to Purdeys and hundreds in between. Over the years, with five of my progeny taking up much of my income, I have been lucky to have had some friends who would pick up my "finds" in times of no money. I get to visit those guns fairly often.

I wouldn't normally be in the same zip code with some of these guns, but the other day I found a few that looked like someone kept them in a dresser drawer for the last 75 years. Now maybe someone is going to tell me they've been redone, but if that's the case a real master did it. Growing up with a WWII guy guns were a tool and some of these utility guns served that purpose well to Craig's point.
