Let me preface this post by thanking Mr. Bishop for his expeditious handling of my request. I couldn’t believe that the envelope in my mailbox from PCGA was my completed request after only a very short timeframe after mailing out.

I would also like to allay any fears about either joining this association or requesting a letter. I’m sure many people flip through the pages of these forums looking for info, but are hestitant about actually joining and/or requesting a letter. I would advise not to be apprehensive, that exactly what is stated on this website is what is delivered.

So about the shotgun. It is a 10 gauge NH, (I previously wrote erroneously that it was a 12 gauge). She has twist barrels that are 30 inches. It was $70 new. Capped pistol grip, Length of pull 14 1/4, drop at heel 3 1/8 and she weighs 10 pounds 1 ounce. The chokes both RH and LH are Full.

The gun was consigned to Schoverling Daly & Gales in NYC in 1898.

So I’m at the point now with having it inspected to see if it is able to be fired. I’m hoping it is, because I want to blast away with this thing. If it is, I will be inquiring about proper ammo to use and where to acquire it from.

Thank you for reading this post, and Mr Bishop, thanks again!
