Craig, I'm sure you will enjoy this gun. It is extraordinary. The barrel pattern is still in great shape as was the the rest of the gun. I imagine it has taken some geese at long distances in its day -- I could see them over the barrels when I hefted it(!). If I may ask, what are your plans for the gun? Shoot it, keep it in the safe?...and obviously enjoy the heck out of it.

I will shoot ducks and geese with it this fall with my handloads, 1 1/4oz Bismuth. I have a soft spot for the big guns. A few years back I was thinking about an 8ga but they can't be used for waterfowl and the big 10's can still be used which is half the fun of owning these old guns.

Based on the short time I had examining and shouldering your gun, you are in for a great deal of "fun." I hope you will post a picture of the gun and your first duck with it this fall. Thanks again for responding to my post. Enjoy your gun.

Craig, does your letter tell you that the gun was made as a ten gauge or rebarrelled from eight gauge?

The true sign of a seriously dedicated auction bidder is doing his research well in advance of the auction date. e.g., the letter.

Going to Alabama I would bet that the big gun was Mr.Sankey's turkey gun.
