Do U find early non-SxS's interesting?

I have a custom stocked Briley choked M-97 that is a deadly shooting blind gun.
Mostly protect pecan orchards from crows.
Also, a Damascus BBLd M-97, all original. I think Damascus was a 20 dollar option on a 15 dollar gun. Let that sink in for a minute.

My favorite is my Winchester '97 Black Diamond with matte top on the barrel. Straight stock with highly figured wood. Unsure if it's a Tournament grade or Trap grade. Looking under the buttplate to see if it was marked but didn't find anything. I shoot this gun in my Greater Lowell trap league. The look on the other teams faces walking off the line with a 25 shooting a 96 year old JMB classic is priceless .

Upland gun is my Remington Model 17 with solid rib choked IC on the barrel. Six pounds on the nose and wonderful to carry.

Sporting clays or a skeet is my Remington Model 11 20 gauge with 32" barrel. This gun makes me a better shooter.... The sighting plane is longer than my 34" barreled Parker.

I have always loved the Dam barrel '97, and would own one in 16 if I could find it.
