It may be of interest to those here that the Remington 32/K-80 was originally an English design. This excerpt from one of my upcoming books:

"Churchill, delivered his first XXV “Premiere” over/under gun to American client, Philip Miller. This Churchill gun was a cross breed of sorts, borrowing elements from both the Boss and Woodward over/unders. A British writer/inventor named Arnold Chevallier worked with Churchill on the design. They later submitted a different version of their concept to Remington Arms in the USA – who eventually used it as the basis for Remington’s Model 32/3200. After WWII, Krieghoff modified this design a bit more and brought it out as their K-80."
