GH 12 1 frame: another closet find
 

Remember the DH12, the last Damascus barreled Parker that was in the house of my wife's uncle, well was over there again today and found a few more interesting guns:
GH 12, 30 " damascus barrels that were blued over, fishtail top lever,
shiny bores but suspect probable reaming as they are open choked. The gun is on a 1 frame, and the frame has been recase colored.
Ser# 66597, may be some one can look it up to see what the book says. Would be a handsome gun if the bluing stripped and damascus refinished. If it actually had steel barrels, I might get it for a pheasant gun.
The only other interesting double was an LC Smith Trap Grade 12 with 28" barrels, slightly rough bores.

Those Damascus barrels will kill a pheasant!

Reggie, sure can, but would rather have fluid steel that I can put heavier loads thru. I shoot plenty with my damascus GH 16 and Twist barrelled hammer 20, but end up in SD in late January and those birds are tough and hard to get close to.

LC Smith Trap 12 FWE

them are heavy barrels for a 1 frame......i have shot heavy loads in damascus barrels for 50 or more years no problems......charlie
