Fathers Guns

[Harold Pickens]

Wow, very nice. i'm sure others will chime in, but the serial #s would allow us to look up exactly what you have. The first gun is a VH, a lower grade but looks to be in nice shape. The hammer gun also appears to be in nice condition and many of us love to shoot the old hammer guns. Your father left you 2 nice guns to enjoy.
I guess there is some rust problems there on closer look--what do the inside bores look like.

serial numbers are 137481 and 54860 for the hammer

137481 is a VH 16ga with 28" barrels -

54860 is a grade 0 12 with 30" twist barrels


they look great as is - as they say - first do no harm - i see no reason from these pics to redo anything

assuming sound barrels - both are still great guns to shoot


there should be a number on the back barrel (under side) of the 16ga is it a 1 or 0 ?
