There is something about a PH with twist barrels that seems right. The barrel pattern with that classy understated engraving is just perfect.

Damn if that’s so Jap women are fine but I don’t care for their guns very much . Spanish women are fine but I don’t care for their guns to much . I need not go any further or I might be called racist

I really like the Fox 2nd generation engraving but A grades are all my paygrade can support...



but overall, Ithaca engraving is pretty hard to beat (grade 5 here),,,

A big soft spot for Parker Cs w/Bernard barrels! And a B Fox is a fine gun! Recently developed a liking of the Ithaca NIDs, the 28ga are sweet.

Nice photo layout Mr. Phil.

My current two favorites are Fox XE's deeply engraved with heads down Fox and Parker BH's. I favor guns made before the great conflict WWI.

I do like gold when used in moderation. Here's an example from a grade 6 Parker that looks very appropriate to me.

Damn the pay grade(s)! Buy what you want and if that means chummying up with the lady at the credit union, go for it!! The term "budget" is like a noose around your neck when the one you've always wanted comes up at auction. Bust a move and think like a businessman - finance and duration of terms (e.g., buyer's premium and line of credit extentions). Once you spend your first $10K on a gun, it starts you thinking......how did I do this??
