Everyone has seen my C's before, and all the experts want a high percentage of case colors. Some of mine, including the little 20ga damascus with wood duck engraving, are pretty much silver patinaed frame. Others, such as the 16 Bernard, already won the award a couple years ago and has been shown around. I have the last C in the records, but it is a Rem gun. Although it is a light 12 with straight grip and it is one of my favorites, I know some collectors don't like Rem guns. I have them from almost first to last, but I have nothing new and haven't seen anything so compelling in the last few years that I have to have it. I'm still looking for another small ga. Bernard but I'd have to arm wrestle Charlie for it if one of us found it.
Charlie has a 20ga CHE damascus and a 28ga CHE Acme that are absolutely smashing and would get my vote for best guns. I sent him a 12ga from 1927 that is new and only missing the box. That's where you want to be.
So, I'll probably come if you want high grade guns to fill the table, but mine have been shown around, don't need a Galazan case, and don't really buy, sell or trade anything. I have enough to fill the plague, famine, war and pestilence categories.
