What did you buy at the Southern?

[Reggie B]

Enjoyed checking out the straight stocked, 30" barreled CHE & DHE 20s that Steve Barnett has had on his website for a while now, as well as the the damascus 28 gauge DH. All 3 super nice but the asking prices limited me to just window shopping. I also enjoyed looking at the four or five .410 bore VH/Es the fellow had on his table, but they weren't priced and I didn't ask. I didn't buy anything firearm related and feel like I failed the course.

I asked about the 410’s there were five . Two capped PG one single trigger , and three with round PG two of which were single trigger . They were priced 30-45 G’s . The guy also had a VH 10 gauge fluid steel 3 1/2” if memory serves it was 11 or 12 G’s .

Oh yeah; forgot - also got a very early A.H. Fox C-grade 12 ga. 26" straight grip SFE DT quail gun (CYL&IC) that came out of Florida with not much original finish but beautiful engraving and a VERY friendly price!

I also bought two OH Osthaus prints now I need to find a place to put them They will probably go to the the cabin.

Randy the VHE 32 inch gun sounds nice.
I saw the Fox Kevin mentioned and it's a beauty. He ended up consigning it to Steve Barnett and that's the gentleman who bought my DH live bird gun.

I shot 500 targets over three and a half days with a cart at Drakes for $225

[OH Osthaus]

Did you mean Edmund Osthaus?

I have not published any prints

Which ones did you get. ( I won't ask for pictures )



After asking -I realized the description will likely be. It's the one with two setters

Rich it's just a solid original gun with a lot of choke and cc in the protected areas only. Bought it because I'm a sucker for long barreled small bores and it can take a little pressure off the D grade 32" 16. Fits me good and I shot it well on the practice 5 stand.

Rick only one print has two setters the other has one setter and a hunter with flushing quail. They were advertisements for United Shoe Service in Wallingford Conn circa 1940's. The quail/setter is by Hintermeister the two setters are Osthaus.

1887 #1 frame 12ga Parker hammergun from Mr. Nickerson
2 issues of DGJ (one I didn't know I already had)
Red Deep River t-shirt
LC Smith Collectors t-shirt (would have bought a Parker, didn't see any)
3 dents raised by Mr. Hosford
6 steak tacos

Wanted to buy a beat up PH to refurbish, but no one was buying what I was selling to pay for it.

I dodged the rain and quickly took some pics of the CHE 16. One frame 30 inch barrels M/F. It still retains quite a bit of color and the pheasant on the floor plate is a big improvement over the more common stag.
