I can certainly appreciate most other game guns besides my favorite, the Parker.
Your Lang appears to be well worth admiration.
I love the classic lines!

The later Parker is about a pound heavier (& with lots of choke) which means it should be more suited for prairie birds.
Both strike me as beautiful examples of engineering from another time.
