I wonder if it’s original owner ever imagined 121 years later it’d still be dropping birds?

We're but keepers of these classic American doubles for the future generation...

Wonderful picture. Good to be alive during the Fall!

i ll grant you that the first owner never thought that 121 years later the gun would still look as good as it does now...wish one of my old 8 ga s looked that good..some of our guns were took better care of than others....charlie

And we can also wonder in that gun's 121 years how many times it had put woodcock on it's owners' tables...

I have a 121 year old GH 12ga. 1896 ser.#84xxx, that still puts down a bird now and then. Mine is a little more faded, but overall in great shape.

It's not exactly an ideal upland gun being a 2 frame GH with 30" barrels choked FULL/FULL, but I seem to do halfway decent with the 7 1/2 RST spreaders.

not exactly ideal, seems like kind of an understatement. More of a turkey gun

The weight doesn’t seem that bad to me, but this is coming from a guy who was hunting with a 12 gauge ruger red label.
