One of my great finds was at a Baltimore auction house, a 1932 Midas trap with 32" barrels and factory beavertail forend and single trigger. The gold wire was restored by Thierry Duguet and the woodwork was done by Greg Wolf.

I don't ever remember seeing a Midas grade from that Era..... I am sure it's a beauty....

Returned from Southern Side X Side Sunday and went searching for a Pigeon Grade 28 gauge, skeet and skeet, with 28 inch barrels, no luck. Superposed are my favorite shotgun.

Several very nice B -25s and one cased Superposed with 3 barrel was interesting but none made the trip home in my car.

Great buy and enjoy your Superposed I hope it's the first of many more.

Unfortunately, graded Supers with smallbore 28" barrels are priced in multiples of Grade 1 prices. We should have bought them when they were being made. I haven't found a reasonably priced RKLT 28 gauge with 28" field choked barrels yet, after decades of searching.

Here's what they look like. Unfortunately, my pictures are not very good, but you get the idea. This is my first year Midas with 30" barrels with the stepped rib.

Wow, gorgeous gun, and very "Americana"....

Superposed Skeet 20 ga 28"
 
And here's a nice little popper that just showed up today on GI. If someone wanted a good 20 gauge this would fit the bill and these are good people to deal with too.

Me too Mr. D.
I found this '66 28 gauge, 28", **$/**$ in Idaho last month.
I think it's got at least Diana grade wood.

I saw that one yesterday, "Insect Damage" to butt plate..... Never seen that before, didn't know insects would chew on a hard butt plate....:rolleyes:

BTW, picked up the 12ga Superposed on Monday, and very happy with it. It does not appear to have been shot much at all.

Now.... My long term plan is my new grabdson, born very early tuesday morning will one day be the owner of this gun. The trigger guard has the initials RLM in gold on it. Is there a way a person can get rid of those, and maybe have my Grandson's initials put there in their place???
