#1 frame 20 guage guns

[Researcher]

Years ago, at one of the Vintage Cups at Sandanona, when Kevin and I were doing the PGCA booth, the display had 32-inch 20-gauge guns on 0-, 1- and 2-frames. For a while I owned a set of 1-frame 32-inch 20-gauge barrels, but when I got my 2-frame gun those barrels took a plunge in the river of commerce.

This BHE 32-inch 20-gauge visited the booth there --

It was said to have been owned by Clark Gable. When it was new, he was selling neckties at Meier & Frank in Portland, but I suppose he could have picked it up second hand.

Depends on the commission Meier & Frank paid him per necktie

Congrats on a great find Dan. That's a grade/gauge/configuration not likely to come along again any time soon but you already knew that. I really like the 32" 20's and am fortunate to have a couple. I prefer them but I could and would definitely make an exception for this one. I hope that your letter will support the 2 7/8" chambers. Nice, really nice !
