Mr.Larter I think those four could use the Billy Mitchel BHE 10 gauge 34” in their group

I have been looking for a 10 BH for the longest time. The Billy Mitchel gun is not attractive to me with the perch belly stock and the late style engraving. Plus it's very pricey and way beyond my comfort level. I did have the line on a BH 10ga show gun a few years back but the barrels were cut and that killed it for me. I would also love to find a BH 16ga, made prior to 1920. With only 25 BH 10's made and with only 101 BH 16's made I don't have very good odds.

I'm down to just one BHE, but it's a 20, Does that count as two 10s?

I know where a 1905 BHE 16 lives...and takes birds. I have 2 16 BHEs, but one has the 1926 engraving...but also a straight/splinter/two trigger configuration and knockout wood, and the other is an early (I think 1903) gun with incredible engraving (and also is straight/splinter/triggers).
A 10 would be very nice...
