Damascus 0-frame small bores for me - 16, 20 and 28 gauge mostly for grade 4 and lower.
It's Lifters for me now... I've had a few 16's and 12's but these days my focus is on those that were originally produced with Parker made Laminated Steel barrels. Those barrel patterns, and there are no two the same, just blow my mind. I have one that the barrels have been expertly restored and a couple more... maybe three that are in queue to be done.
I think I've shown this one before but IMO it can't be seen too often because I haven't seen another like it.
Still looking for more that may be unique in some way or other.
