Fine Double (kinda)
 
1 Attachment(s)
At a gun show again today not much going on but did find this.An old double gun made into a lamp.Could not resist it will look good in my lodge.Should be a good conversation piece.
I'm kind of glad it wasn't a parker but then that would have been cool.Probably been alot more than I paid for this.

Anniversary gift? Now my wife will want one.

That would be one way to go.I can say this, my wife was not as excited about it as me when I brought it home.
It was kind of hard to sneek in since it would not fit in any gun case I had either.Light bulb was a dead give away.

In the seventies, there was a dealer at the Maryland Arms Collectors Association Show in Baltimore who displayed a nice Parker eight gauge lamp with a hole drilled through the breech ball for the wire. I wonder where that gun is today? It is probably someone's prized Parker eight with the hole welded up. As I recall, the price at the time was around a hundred bucks.

That would have been nice if it was a parker but how would you decide on which to committ to the remainder of its years to setting atop a pedestal.
Just would not seem right.
I am glad it is the gun it is.Still will always be way to start a conversation about double guns.
