Driven bird guns
Hi Guys I just asked Jack if we made a set of driven bird guns. His answer was that we might have put a set together,but it was 2 guns with matching dimensions put in a custom 2 gun case.

Richard, does that mean that the two were not consecutively numbered?

Some of the rare Repros offered for sale by that dealer (an example is the two forend gun recently sold) are most likely from the collection of a person who had and maybe still has a close association with the Repro operation and one of its high volume dealers. He ordered many special order and custom guns which are apparently now coming on the market. Kevin M. and I displayed some of these outrageous guns in our "Parker .410" display at the Maryland Antique Arms Collectors Show at Baltimore several years ago. Some of you may remember that great display. If Mr. Skeuse does not know to whom I am referring, he may PM me and I will refresh his memory. I believe the pair advertised may be an original Driven Bird pair.
