Default Cow Gun

Well while I am doing nothing I thought I would show you the cow gun, it is most unusual in the fact that it is signed by the engraver! which you seldom see, the first photo shows the trigger guard with his name in the right corner on the trigger guard, why the cow who knows? If I have shown this before I apologies, and again they are large so one or two at a time

Just like the chicken gun the engraving is so detailed something you don't see in later guns. These two gun you almost have to take a magnifying glass to so that you can see how fine the detail work is...Beautiful guns

there has got to be a story behind that

Wow Gary, you really can find them! Why a cow? Looks to me to be a bull, maybe it was his prime breeder. As far as the bird, I've shot many a woodcock along the edges of pastures. Keep those beauties coming.

Bulls don't have udders where I come from

Now a days. Not that there's any thing wrong with that

Oops! Missed the udder. Of course the bovine could have been well endowed.
