2014 Raffle Gun

[C.O.B.]

Dean you won a raffel gun once befor. Isn't it a once in a lifetime event?

[Bill Murphy]

Dean and others, the purchaser of the gun, Mr. Davis, was a dealer, not an individual. I am still crazy about the gun. Is it a #3 frame gun? At this weight, it is not hard to imagine. If it is a pre check hook gun with no frame size marking, maybe we could measure the firing pin spacing to find the frame size. I am all atwitter, but, then, I'm usually all atwitter. I have a 1912 Flying Ducks catalog with the Davis stamp. Maybe I can trade the catalog in on some extra raffle tickets. I don't know where I got the idea it was a ten. What a gun. Bruce, please post pictures of the actual raffle gun as soon as possible.

The timing is such that we think we will have the actual gun on display in Milwaukee and if we do, I'll post photos. The key is that it is a D hammer, with the nice bolster sculpting, and highly desirable to many if not most collectors.

Bruce, do you know if it has the original barrel length?
I can't wait to see it once its spruced up! Aren't raffle tickets sent to the members in advance?

David,
The barrels are 30" and have a beautiful Damascus pattern. They are very stout as is indicated by the gun weight listed on the letter. I believe this gun to be a two frame with incredible wood and wonderful D grade engraving typical of guns from this period.

I will post some nice close-ups of the gun in a couple of weeks and it will also be on display at most of the events the PGCA will be represented at throughout the year.

Lovely. This gun needs to come home to Maine.

My luck is so bad I could buy all the books of tickets and still loose.........

Doesn't mean I won't try........


Beautiful gun...

I believe the chokes have been opened a bit and the stock bent a tad to take out some of the drop. Would make a great dove or sporting clays gun.
