I bought a pair off a fellow who claimed he got them from a guy that brought them back as WWII war booty . Now I dunno if they were that old or not , one was a 12 that weighed 6 1/3 pounds the other was a 20 that weighed a hair less then 5 1/2 pounds both had the semi pistol grip .

They would have made lovely grouse getters but the only time I fired either was on the skeet field and let me just say the little 20 would wake you up and put the fear of God in you all at the same time !
The slightly heavier 12 gauge amazingly enough was rather pleasant to shoot but the little one was a terror .

I kept them maybe 2 years and then sold traded them to Jim Tyrell when he ran the pro shoip at Fairfax Rod and Gun !@
