Default 8 gauge DH pictures from the VC

Here are a few pictures of a 8 gauge DH displayed at the Vintage Cup last weekend. What cool gun in my opinion, the gun had not been priced yet. Straight grip and steel barrels.

It was a 6 frame as I recall, 34" barrel length. For a avid waterfowler like me it was a real thrill to shoulder it and swing it on a fat drake black duck!! I had to be careful placing it back on the table next to a 28ga AAHE priced at $350,000.

What a gun. Maybe Craig would PM me about the owner's name and I'll put up a "For Sale" sign in front of my house.

It is so beautifully proportioned you can not even tell it is a 8 gauge until you look at the stock.

I went over to pick up the gun so many times I must have worn off half the remaining CC!!! Bill believe me the thought of selling my house entered my mind!! That gun would be my holy grail but pictures will have to do, darn!

Don't let Mills or Charlie see these pictures. Charlie would probable sell his farm.
