1881 W&C Scott & Son:
Pretty decent local find, out the door for under $600. It’s a 12 gauge, 30-5/8” barrels with shiny bores. Scott made many grades, this one locks up tight and has withstood the test of time.

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead, forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell and the profit and loss.
A current under sea picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell he passed the stages of his age and youth entering the whirlpool. Gentile or Jew O you who turn the wheel and look to windward, Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
