Amazing colors! Re-done? I especially like the flag.



I have a few English guns, but only one shotgun. Here she is. An early muzzle loader. Hardy Bros of fishing reel fame, I think. This gun is a wonderful shooter. Straight stock. I'm a little confused about this gun. Hardy Bros didn't go into business until something like 1878. By that time the English were well into the cartridge era. They made pinfire guns in the 1850's as I recall. They also converted pinfire into centerfire. I suspect that they didn't make muzzle loaders in the 1880's. I doubt that we did that late too for that matter.

Oh, I've got another English gun! Forgot all about it.
