20ga top lever D grade hammer gun. This gun is the highest grade top lever 20ga hammer gun known to be in existance. If anybody knows of another D or higher in a 20, please advise. The list shows four were made.
This gun spent its entire life in rural Nebraska. It was ordered by P O Mahoney of Lincoln in 1902 from a dealer in Des Moines and used by him until sold into the Williams family of Crete. The Mahoney family around Lincoln is well known but I have not been able to trace P O Mahoney. Anybody have any information? Its not my gun, its owned by a close friend.
PS There is a photo of a C 20ga hammer in TPS stating it is owned by Wayne Owens. So there is at least one higher grade.
