Take a look at Phil Carr's 10 ga German hammer for sale on the forum.
Sweet gun, more expensive, but doesnt need any work either.

I wont be in the market till about September , I agree that is a good deal though . Usually you're not going to get a pretty or good condition 10 gauge hammergun for $2500 . Phil seems to always price his doubles better than what you see fellows on GI or GB asking . Thats one of the perks of being a PGCA member you can get some nice doubles for less than what a dealer normally wants .

Im on the fence about what I want to buy this coming Autumn , I really need to buy a boat if I want to go duck/goose hunting . Or I could save the money and just use my Parker 10 gauge in the dove fields :rotf:

Nice gun, but lots of drop. I would need to know the dimensions before I could make a decision.

I think it's been re barreled. A gun that age would have smooth top rib. They look like fluid steel too.

I think that might be the case , If it so it would be a interesting double once the wood is replaced . I have seen 3 damascus barreled 10s where people have had the chambers reamed to 3.5" . Pugs has a Parker lifter with 3.5" chambers which I think was probably reamed out at some point .

I was also looking at a NID 10 ga magnum for $1900 but it needs a forend , ive found stock makers who carry forends for the 12 and 16 gauge NIDs but not the 10 so im not sure what it would cost to remedy that .

"Wood replaced". How much do you think that will cost? There is no part of this gun that is original. American walnut on a Scott?? The muzzles are 1/10" thick. Scott didn't do that. Where are the proof marks? I don't think they know how to take the gun apart to look at the proof marks.

There are so many honest English hammer guns available, why not shop around. One other thing when they proof guns in Europe they are not including the receiver, just the barrels, that receiver is not designed for magnum loads.
