other than that -- a 16 gauge hammer gun, that hole may be filled -i'll know soon
So is this ghost 10 a hammerless ?

I did some trading last year for a Lefever 16ga Optimus, a Purdey light game gun and an AE Fox 20 with 30 inch tubes.

2018 will bring a wonderful CHE 16 with 80% case color and 30 inch barrels on a #1 frame. I'm not really looking for anything and there is nothing I really want or need

Huh... A 16g Optimus? As far as i know there is only one known to exist and remains in a long time private collection. A few “clones” are known of. Was it one of those?

It’s one thing to want it, it’s quite another to get out the checkbook.

I had a very good 2017 as far as adding to my Parker collection is concerned. I am going to "try" and focus on one or two special guns for 2018. These could include:

A 16 gauge, maybe a PH and/or grade 0 or 1 hammer gun
An 8 gauge hammer gun, lifter or top action
A grade 3 lifter in 12 or 10
And of course there is always that random Parker that I don't know I am looking for until I see it

Looking forward to seeing how I make out
