John, I figured Mr. Keane would be about 100 years old by now and long dead, but some of our heroes of the sixties were younger than we thought. I never met Martin Keane, but corresponed with him about shotguns he had for sale and enjoyed his catalogs of fly fishing gear up to recent times. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I was looking at. One gun I remember him offering for sale was a high condition DHE 16 bird gun for about $650. I guess I should have bought it. It seemed a bit overpriced at the time.
