30 years ago, Captain Earl Ashenfelder (of Susquehanna River fame) was selling a few of his guns and asked us to stop by. One of his guns for sale was a Baker Batavia Leader 12 ga. Damascus. I took a pass because of the barrels but Earl said," Skipper, I guarantee, that gun has fired at least 10,000 rounds of Super X shells at ducks on the flats"! I kick myself. Mostly because Earl has passed now and it would have made a wonderful momento....
