Hello from Tulsa
 

Cool 2 barrel BHE came home with me. Factory 30” and 27” 2 barrel set with hang tags.

Very nice find Brian. Fabulous engraving and configuration. I hope to make Tulsa this spring. Congrats !!

Fantastic gun, incredible engraving.

That’s a wonderful gun. What a great find.

Unusual engraving, but very nice. congrats.

Three pairs of bird dogs. (And no hoofed creatures.) Nice find!

The B grade guns are special. I love the “chain like” border engraving.

What a nice find, beautiful engraving! I will bet the wood is great too, more pics would be great Brian.

Nice find Brian!! BTW, where is Tulas? Lithuania?? :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Brian, are you getting a letter on the gun?

That gun needs a letter! Great find Brian.

Does the buttstock side panels have thin veneers added covering a split repair?

Hang tags

Great find, beautiful.

Interesting hang tag for the 30" barrels
DuPont Oval was developed for the 1922 introduction of Western Cartridge Co.’s 12g 2 3/4” 1 1/4 oz. 3 3/4 Dram Eq. ‘Super-X Field’ which is likely the load specified.

Is that the same powder that played a part in the
development of the Super Fox guns?

Capt. Charles Askins and E.M. Sweeley published a series “Ballistics of the Shotgun”, and in April, 1922 Outdoor Life, “Late Developments in Guns and Ammunition” made reference to a "Special Fox gun"

DuPont Oval was the only powder used in the early Super-X line.

For those members who have attended the "Tusla" show, is one better than the other? Fall or Spring?

:rotf: Well played Scott.

Each show has good and bad, I always find something to buy. This show:
lifter D grade 12 ga
lifter C grade 10 ga
Each are in rough condition and they will get parted out.
0 frame 16 gauge 0 grade 28” barrels with lightening cuts. It needs a good cleaning and a stock crack repair.
The BHE pictured here
16 ga set of repro barrels.
A couple Randall knives
A front end off a 20 ga model 12, P code parts set solid rib 26” factory CYL choke.

It’s always fun and enjoyable.

The spring show is usually better attended and more crowded. The fall show has to compete with football games and several states opening hunting seasons on the same weekend. The vendors are generally the same for both shows with a few exceptions. I have found that I can buy better at the spring show. There seems to be more and better guns after the hunting season than before.

Thank you, John. Good information.
