So far as guns, gauges, barrel lengths, chokes and actions went, it was 'best Bests', 12, 32", tight and tighter, and either SxS or O/U (no Cosmis or A-5 Special for Pigeons, please!).

Kidding? --- Nope!

Your commentary was very interesting though - It's almost like you were actually there in Russia during the 1870's, '80's and '90's!

As for "Cosmis", Sounds like a killer CheeseSteak Deli at the corner of 8th & Dickinson in Philadelphia!
