You can say that again Jay!

Thanks for sharing that great story and those pictures of his gun.

Jay what a treasure to have both the gun and your friend Charlie. I have heard of Peter Chapman and he definately produced a "best" gun. Your Chapman is very similiar to a Holland & Holland 20 I have. My gun also sports 26 inch barrels which are perfect for a Grouse gun and it weighs just 5lbs 12oz. The first time I took it Grouse hunting it poured rain all day and we never moved a bird.

I hope Charlie gets to take that walk with you.
