Bill, I saw the 8 gauge in Baer's book and the 10 (I think) in TPS. I would love to see all three in person someday. At least I would like to see some better photos of the 8. It seems early high grade hammer guns really laid on the engraving and you find a different scene every time you look at the gun. At least that is true of a few I have seen. I thought that was a cool order and I wonder what Dr. Webb shot with these guns?

I have spent some time on google with Dr. Webb, but have not found any mention of guns. Still looking. I looked at the Webb gun on page 692 of TPS. I forgot it was there. I have a copy of the order in my files and enjoy looking at it occasionally. Looked at it today. I'll get a reference on the Smithsonian article for those who would like to look at it.
