Those "between the wars" Merkel 303 and 304s are quite the pieces of work, but with those deep frames they will never look svelte to my eyes.

WOW what a stunning gun - and with Bernard barrels too!!
I just looked at the initial plate - must have belonged to Mash Buckingham…

Daly made some drillings in 10-10-45/70 I had a notion once upon a time to try and find one that was reasonably priced . So far that hasn’t worked out ! The engraving on that hammer gun however looks quite nice :cool:

Dean, not Mash Buckingham, but Ma Barker. Mash shot twelve gauges.

Unless my eyes are decieving me, the nose of the left hammer is cracked to the point it is barely hanging on.

I see that too, but a fix shouldn't be too hard. Harry wants a single trigger hammer Lindner ten. I happen to have one that won the hammer event at the Vintagers a few years back. It also has some provenance a bit farther back than that.
