Is this a bona fide Grouse gun?
If I can break away and get upcountry next month I will certainly be taking the 0-framed, 26” barreled, 16-gauge VH that I bought a few years back. It is one gun in my small battery that I won’t need spreader loads for, as it is factory-choked cylinder and modified.
It was originally sold through the old-time Boston sporting goods retailer and importer, Iver Johnson. Shipped in July of 1907, I can only imagine where it might have been; what game it might have taken and what outdoorsmen (or, outdoors-lady) might have owned it.
Below are some pictures. It was restored long before I bought it, and no one seems to know who did it. Neither the Bachelder; Del Grego nor Turnbull shops have any record of having had it.
