Well, if we’re on the topic of 20ga. Superpose from 1959.
This specimen was purchased in 1959 by John Thompson, a close friend of the family and someone I looked up to a gentleman and sportsman. The gun shows honest wear from 30-years chasing quail and setters in cornfields and along fence rows in Indiana. Several years ago one of the firing pins started to stick so I sent it to Midwest Gun Works for repair and a thorough cleaning. They called me after receiving the gun, commented on the wear, and ask if I was interested in having the gun refinished while in the shop. I thanked them for their interest and told them that ever time I pick up the gun and look at the wear I think of John Thompson, the stories the gun could tell if it could speak, and the gentleman he was.
