Jeff, Tendler's Sales, 913 D Street Northwest, now under the FBI building. Griffith Stadium was a bus ride from Rockville to the District line, then a short trolley ride down Georgia Avenue to the stadium. The whole trip was about 35 cents in the fifties. Most of the time, I would go to the stadium with my dad, but occasionally, I would bus it and meet him there.

All I really know is that after all the shooting that had been done with it, all that remained of all the ammo that was made especially for the gun with special head stamps was one original box of 25 with the exception that when the gun was offered to me one of those original shells had been removed and replaced with a 20 gauge shell. It was a DHE and no I didn’t buy it.... the price wasn’t realistic for a gun with a lot of wear and nowhere to buy ammo for it.

Where is it today, Dean? DGJ issue?

I honestly don’t know where the gun is today and I don’t know which issue the article appeared in.

Bill— thanks for the fun reply. Tendlers was an amazing place. As I remember we rode in on DC Transit buses (yellow and green?) to Constitution (and 9th?) and catch a trolley to the Ball Park. I usually met my father at home after the school had called him. Youth was wonderful. Jeff

Right Dave. That was the gun that was offered to me at something like $17 or $18k. I passed... I didn’t have the need or use for such a gun and wasn’t into collecting one-of guns. I have no idea where it went after I said “No thank you.”

I have seen some of those 18 ga shells with the 20 ga head stamp on them...I have a 18 ga stamped shell it is still loaded...dean I would have passed too.....charlie

Fun with twenties continues today when I appeared at the local Izaak Walton range with my second SC single barrel twenty gauge for test fire. I patterned the Colonel Cutts twenty on a pattern sheet and was impressed with the 7/8 ounce pattern of #9 at about 25 or 30 yards. A bumble bee would be hard pressed to escape. At some time in the future, I will load some serious 1 ounce #7 1/2 loads and get some real patterns at 40 yards. The Cutts twenty gauge single is only a 30" gun, but much fun to shoot.
