Multi gauge sets

[Double Play]

I thought this might be of interest to this conversation. As many of you know Austin Hogan had a great interest in multi barrel and multi gage sets. At on time he had sent me the image below which is taken from the 1899 Parker catalog giving the price and effect (weight) of having the factory add a second set of barrels of a different gage. Also of note is the fact that this second set of barrels cost approximately half of what a new gun would have cost. I believe this information was used in an earlier Parker Pages article by Dr. Hogan.
