Default Shotguns as Art

Beginning Feb 3rd and running for a month, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, is running an exposition on collectibles. Featured in that exposition is a display of seven vintage Doubles from the turn of the century; fully restored, from different American manufacturers. High grade, engraved showing six different types of Damascus. It occurred to me that the average non-gun person has no idea what quality Doubles looked like 100 years ago.

When the Museum approached me I said, Heck yes. The staff was blown away by how gorgeous these were with an immense appreciation for the Art and craftsmanship. I can't wait to hear the reactions from the general public.
I will post pictures and reactions as soon as available.
