Well the seriel number on my W&C 10 is 30,9xx so that puts it at 1881 or 1882 . So thats easily the oldest gun I've killed a deer with !

And the seriel number on my Ithaca NID 10 is 434xxx which dates it at 1926 !

I have some #3 Buck loaded up for the right barrel in the Ithaca as well as the previousely mentioned 000 .

Ran across about 7 rounds of old 50's Winchester paper 10 gauge 2 7/8" 0 Buck that my grandfather had . If I can get to it this year I'll try and pop a deer with them in my W&C .

Here's a picture of one of the short 10 single 0 Buck loads . I had forgotten I took them with me for the last day of the 2012 Virginia Deer Season !
