The first 10 gauge I ever knew was this W&C Scott back action that my maternal grandfather acquired right after WWII and since his passing eight years ago I've owned it .
When I was 19 my dad bought this Ithaca NID Grade 2 and we never fired it until maybe 4 years ago , we'd had it over 30 years .
Two years ago I believe I picked up a circa 1890 LC Smith Quality 2 .
And in the last two years I've acquired a 1882 Parker Lifter , 1884 Parker Grade 2 top lever and an 1889 EH .
In the past I owned a Remington SP-10 semi auto , a pair of Ithaca MAG-10's and a Browning BPS all for 3 1/2" 10 gauge .
As to the 10 gauge 3 1/2" I'd love to have a Parker and/or Ithaca NID 3 1/2" gun !
