Charlie, Here's the safe-mate to the 4E 16, an earlier grade 4 12 gauge. It has as nice a piece of wood as I have ever seen, and sports what I believe is an original skeleton steel butt plate. Alas, no records exist for this nice gun.

I managed to find a Crown Grade 16 GA with 26 in barrels two years ago. It is now in the hands of a well known LC Smith collector in Maryland. It made the LC Smith newsletter.

When I was gunning Springer trials, the best trial gunner I ever shot with shot a 30" Crown grade. He had restocked it into a non-original configuration, but the pheasants never knew what hit them

I have my Grandpa's Hamilton Model 27 in the back of my safe.... It's not nearly as pretty as the stuff Gary seems to pull out of his....

The back of my safe is not near as interesting, but there are some guns that havent seen the field for a good while--a Sterlingworth 20, 2 SW 16's, and a SW 12 pin gun, a Durstan Special 20 with ejectors and Lefever G 16, my first Parker, a 1 frame 16 28" did make it out for pheasant this year.

Those all sound worthy of a hunt...and a posted picture(?)
