now that sounds cool

Well it's not English, if you talk to the Scot's, but I have a Mckay Brown 16 ga and a 20 ga. The 20 ga I bought this summer was unfired, well that got fixed :) and the 16 I just love, IM and Mod, 27" barrels perfect......

My one and only English gun is a 12-ga. back-action J. Blanch & Son sidelever hammergun, 30" damascus barrels, choked .010/.028, SG, SPL w/heel and toe plates. 6 lbs. 8 oz. Built in London c.1888.

Only one--a Tolley 500 black powder express (No. 2), back action hammer gun with a Jones underlever. Steel barrels have perfect bores and the English walnut wood is likewise. Horn buttplate and prince of wales gripcap is also horn. If I remember correctly, the powder charge is engraved on the side of the action. Factory swivels and file cut dead flat rib. Two leaf rear sight and easily changeable front sight. Slides out like my Mauser .22 model 410 b.

i too have only one english gun it is a FA LOOMIS NO. 35 8 GAUGE its a hammer gun with top break lever it has 4 inch chambers and 36 inch fine damascus barrels..DESTREY HOFFARD let me have this gun a few years ago....charlie

I have a 12 bore Purdey, 29" whitworth barrels, light mod and ic. Straight grip, rose and scroll engraved.

Here is one of my favorite German sxs in 14ga...it's a little slow to load but great on a hunt.

Here is a interesting Hammer gun that I once owned. It had 2 sets of Bernard barrels. The shotgun barrels were very worn and showed no finish. The rifle barrels were unused and as new in the case. The safety was in the grip. It was a very well made gun made pre 1870 for some German baron from the research that I did.

This gun is a 12/16 two gauge two barrel set that was imported to Los Angeles in the 1930's. Very well made gun with side clips, Greener style crossbolt, and ejectors. The engraving while typical Germanic style is still very well done. The 12ga barrels are 32" and the 16ga are 30", both made by Krupp. There is no makers name on the gun but in my opinion they were very talented.

WJ Jeffrey 12 gauge from 1937. It was made as a waterfowler with 1 1/4 oz proofs. Very nice handling gun.
