This gun was being sold by a dealer/gunsmith near Reading Pa a few months ago. I believe he either posted pictures here or on Trapshooters.com. The asking price at that time was 50k as I recall. I e-mailed him with a few questions which he responded to and I told him, if he wanted, I would take a drive over and answer any questions about the gun that I could answer. He never contacted me about that. The gun was owned by a Dr. in Adamstown just south of Harrisburg. You just never know where these guns will surface!

Craig, I had a very nice correspondence with the dealer also, and he sent me some great pictures. Your boy didn't shoot any ATA trap in the years after he bought the gun and he did not attend the Hegins shoot as far as I can tell. Hegins is a very popular annual pigeon shoot and social event in the area where the Doctor lived. He probably shot pheasants with the great gun, but apparently did not shoot for money.

Craig, I think that stamp on the barrel flat is the symbol for Peerless steel

Craig,

If you are still babysitting, can you take a picture or two of the socks (felt sleeves) for this gun. Are there any markings on them?

Thanks,
Carl.
