Just getting used to "doublegunitis". The Boswell arrived today and it is just a very pretty little gun. It is a 12 ga but it feels light to shoulder. The damascus is quite lovely even if it is English brown. It has been opened up sometime, as the right side plate is proud of the wood. I will resist the urge to play with that - for a while anyway.

Cheers,
Jack

Pictures Jack...We need pictures....

[TARNATION !!!]

I'll try. Pretty shaky on the shutter release these days. Rat poison and a daily medicinal ounce of single malt don't mix and not allowed for any reason. New glasses yesterday too, so I don't see the world as I used to. (Just lining up my excuses for out of focus shots)
After the robust frames and barrels of the Parkers, this has a "toy like" appearance to me, but I won't stand down range of it.
Cheers,
Jack

An old Boswell of mine...I have no complaints and guess it would rate discussion in "Other Fine Doubles" (referring to the original question).

[TARNATION !!!]

Definitely qualifies as "other fine doubles". A wonderful piece of art. Hope it also gets exercised from time to time.
Cheers,
Jack
