The more I look at the gun the more I like it. It's like some wanted the best materials but something with a utilitarian look. You could almost hear someone say "Don't ruin this gun with any of your fancy engraving..." It will be interesting to see what it is sells for its already just over $8k. Thanks for sharing, that is a nice and different gun...

I agree with Jay but I loved it the minute I seen it ,I ran across it a few hours after it was posted and ran for my Parker Books !!!!!!!!! Really a cool gun in my opinion but I always lean toward the unusual !

Default I'm the guy who listed it
If anyone needs more info let me know. The owners daughter is selling it to pay for her fathers Medical bills. It is her father's shotgun he has Alzheimer's. Thus we have no history on it. I have added a lot of photos and information since I first listed it. Please take a second look if you haven't.

When I made my original post. I could easily see the Pigeon Gun inscription on the top rib in the GB pictures.

My most sincere sympathy for the owner's daughter and the entire family.
My Dad suffered for almost ten years with that terrible affliction.
