I was fortunate enough to become the caretaker for an AHE 12 gauge two-barrel set (one of the set being Damascus), a BHE 16 (with Damascus barrels), and a Holland & Holland hammer gun with 28 gauge and .410 barrels. The year is not over, and the good wife is softening up on a potential lifter. Fingers crossed...
