Bill, after I read your post I went back and looked at your one about the Davenport. That was the name of the gun I described above. Was I correct that it was made in Rhode Island?

I always wanted one of those 8 ga Davenports .
Couldnt never find one though under 2k . Seen a few for sale
but not something i could pay over 1500$ for .

there were 2 davenport single barrels forsale on gunbroker here while back they did not sale that i know of..one was mint i think the price was 1500 on one and 1200 on the real nice one..also a shattuck 8 ga single with 36 inch barrel that weighed 13 1/2 lbs..never seen that many 8 ga single barrels at one time...once there was a davenport for sale on a british gun auction site it had fluid steel barrel and a 4 inch chamber sale price was about 1700 americn dollars i wanted that gun bad but could not figer how to get it back to the usa at that time...charlie

The Beretta sold a couple of hours ago and I was not aggressive in my bidding and lost it. If someone here was the successful bidder, please let us know.

Bill I watched on the internet live. Was going to bid but my max 2200 went by so fast it did not even matter. I did not expect the 5000 hammer price that is close to 6000 depending on buyers premium.

i seen a ultra nice belgium 10 ga this evening it was a modern 3 1/2 inch gun..much nicer than most spanish 10 ga...really nice gun...i just ca nt buy all of them thats the trouble...this 8 ga double woulda been a nice one....charlie
