George,

I like the idea of 28's a lot but it could be too narrow. Not enough guns can be put together for display!

I do like the idea do the double beaded guns as well. Lets pin this down in the next couple of days.

You could combine the two catagories.

28 gauge was done in Ohio. There was no shortage of display guns and I even displayed an outrageous cased DHE vent rib 28. Kevin McCormack and I did an over the top Parker .410 display at Baltimore one year, but I don't know if PGCA has done .410s yet. Kevin's display had an Abercrombie and Fitch cased skeet, BHE vent rib, G Grade .410, factory A-1 Special Repro, Geoffrey Gournet engraved A-1 Repro, you name it. For a one table display, it was pretty neat.

Double beaded 28's? Hahahahaha!

How about we stick with ivory, en mass....?

I have a couple of three beaded Parkers and another member has at least one. The Gold Hearts gun has three or four beads on the Damascus barrels as I recall, two gold and one or two ivory. I'll have to check.

How about we just have a Bill Murphy theme? I have a feeling he could just put on a one-man show. He would have to rent an armored car for transport. We might not have enough table space.

I like the 28 ga idea and I think there would be enough 28's for a display.

Guys,

If we can rally support and guns for 28s it can happen. Just takes a few guys to bring them out.

OK- I start it off with my two 28's..... VH26" and VHE30" both 00 frames.:bigbye:

D grade 28ga with Damascus barrels... Can also bring VHE skeet gun
