Austin, I just finished reading your article in Double Gun & Single Shot Journal on the way provenance affects the value of a gun. Very insightful and informative. I appreciate your comparison of the Super Fox bored by Burt Becker with the boring and choking of some Parker pigeon guns. We have been taught of the lengths to which the Parker barrel men went in designing and cutting the chokes in these guns but Becker was a genius in his work. Nine inches back from the muzzles is where Austin found the first indication of deviation from the .740" nominal bore when he inspected "Bo Whoop" at Julia's. Stunning!
