Another is a near mint, 1880s Lindner Daly hammer gun, a two barrel set, ten gauge, near Diamond Quality, marked by Thomas Golcher of Philadelphia with 28" and 32" wonderful Damascus barrels. My favorite Parker this year is a unique 30" 20 gauge Trojan, lettered by PGCA in that configuration. Another is a great little Inland Steel (General Motors) M1 Carbine, given to me by a very good friend who also owns General George C. Patton's DHE 20 gauge Parker bird gun, among other Patton memorabilia.

You would be dangerous to hang out with...as my wife would say...you might expand my interests!
