I've owned a number of Model 21s. And those with splinter forends and double triggers are the most rare. Good find. And NICE wood!

I’ve got the same gun, a 1935 double trigger, straight grip 16 w/28” barrels bored cylinder and modified. It’s been to Argentina, Uruguay, Montana and some use in Maine, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I got it in Massachusetts years ago and it surely was someone’s grouse gun. It’s never failed me and will be one of the last to go!

Very nice. I picked up an early 16 ga. with 26 in barrels, straight grip, DT and beaver tail forend, chokes C/IC. Someone had restocked with a very nice piece of walnut and finished with a leather covered pad. Sweet gun.

Most people don't know it's a model 21 with a splinter forearm and double trigger. They are so used to seeing a single trigger and a beavertail forearm. My 20ga is a tournament grade with cylinder and mod chokes. Great grouse and woodcock gun.

I have carried a M-21 everywhere from Mexico to the North West Territories, California to the UP. Also. Packed a Holland and Holland Royal Sidelock Ejector up to a summit in Colorado (over 10,000 ft) chasing blue grouse. One of my favorite memories.
Lately, my working guns have been Parkers. Some guns just have a certain feel to the hand when carried in the field. Parker is one, for sure. The shape of the receiver at the balance point has always been a factor (IMO) of the comfort of a great field gun. The M-21 ain't bad. |

I figure with a M21 and M32, I have the best of both worlds, two guns at the peak of American double gun manufacture. I also love Parker’s and Italian guns. British and German guns (I lump the Krieghoff under M32) come next. Heck, I love double guns. Deciding which is best is like arguing if blondes, brunettes or redheads are prettier. I know my preference, but I’d never complain. Haha

I have owned 5 of them, 2 twelves, 2 sixteens and 1 twenty. Built like bank vaults, shoot like a house afire, never malfunctioned and cheerful in all kinds of weather. Best of all I made modest sums of money on everyone of them when I sold them. Thanks Kurt, Jim, Ken and Warren! Always favored the longer barrels, splinter forend, and double triggers. Owned sns from 98 to 11942, every one a winner!
