Hmmm, I'll take the Purdey underlever 8bore rifle.... or the short little 4-bore maybe engraved "for elephants, rhinoceros and other pachyderms"... I guess! What a cannon. So little money, so many guns... How about the cased 4-bore shotgun for you Destry??

I think I have seen that gun. My understanding is it was orginally built as a long barreled fowler but the barrel for the most part was destroyed in a car accident. It was then shortened, sights added and amusingly stamped.
