A CHE 20, GH 20, and PH 20. The CHE and GH each took wild birds on the first shots fired from them. I'm still looking for the right time and place to use the PH.
I also found original consecutive copies of the first several years of Wilbur Parker's American Sportsman from the early 1870s. Fascinating reading, and like entering a time capsule for period guns and shooting.
