Hi Eldon, likewise big guy. I was going to try to track down the date of manufacture if I could on the HH gun that it was built for. Enjoying your discussion on collecting doubles BTW. I think as long as the guns keep shooting people will be interested. I have always liked SxS guns, just took me awhile to get savvy to Parkers. This forum I believe is an outstanding mechanism to drive interest. You ever get up this way coffee on me.

What a shame that nice cases get separated from their guns!!! I just don't understand how or why.

The reason can be summed up in one word: Money.

A pair of guns brings more money if sold separately. The separate case brings more.

An individual gun in its correct case brings good money without the case. The case sold separately brings more.

Blame greed. Or dealers. Or both.
