20ga Wallhanger
You know, when the hammerless guns arrived in 1889, nobody wanted the old hammer guns anymore. So the owner of this little 20ga, when he had the gun made in 1904, must have been a real throwback to buck the trend. Damascus plus hammers, what modern person would want that?
When retrieved from the chicken coop out here on the Great Plains, it had a broken stock. Now I know we get a lot of folks on this forum who wouldn't think twice about getting rid of this old broken stock and putting a new generic stock, but the owner kind of liked this old one, so its glued and pinned now.
And I know it doesn't have much condition, and so many folks want to send their guns off to get those fancy new case colors on so it looks like it just came from the Parker factory or some factory. But this little D grade will just have to do as is and I know the look like new gun crowd won't like it.
