Some years ago I picked up this well used 1889-vintage heavy 2-frame Damascus barrel 12-gauge, that was back to Meriden some time after 1918 for a set of 32-inch Vulcan Steel, 3-inch chambered, 20-gauge barrels with forearm. The 12-gauge Damascus barrels are very thick and straight with little or no swamp and the gun weighs just over nine pounds with them in place. The 20-gauge barrels swamp a lot and the gun weighs 8 pounds 4.5 ounces with them in place. I displayed this gun at The Vintage Cup at Sandanona in 2005, and also had it with me and showed it around some at Pintail Point in 2008, though I was working the A.H. Fox Collectors booth then.

Thank you. I had no idea two barrel sets were that unusual. I shoot a nice DH 12/12 with a 30" Mod/full and a 28' imp/mod. I also have a CHE 20/20 28" skeet /skeet & 28" mod/full. I treasure those guns and now even more so.
Thanks
David

With only a 164 fluid steel 20 ga. CH's I would think yours is very uncommon David.
