Bill Jaqua bought the gun. It was written up in the WSJ as a breakthrough in collectibles as investments. The gun was resold within about a month. From what I heard,not only did that gun put Jaqua's and gun collecting on center stage, but he turned a handsome profit on the gun also

C.O.B, has the DAC and DAH been messed with? Looks like wood may have been taken off the top of the stock.

Yes Tommy, I am familiar with "The Little Persuader" and it certainly is a 'Holy Grail' but I have a distinct soft spot for 150677 which is shown as a SG 28" 28 gauge AAHE but it is actually an original two-gauge (28/20) two-barrel set with some wonderful provenance. It will be included in an article sometime soon.

Chuck that's the way the gun was stocked. It has a small Monte Carlo comb.

Well, if the barrels were Whitworth there would be a W in that location so I'll guess that stamp might have something to do with Peerless Steel. I wish those stamps were more defined.
I'm sure somebody with more experience than I have in the high grades will come on and solve that question. The gun is listed as a "P8" so it has to have Peerless Steel barrels. .
