Closest I've come was back when I was in college, the Seattle gunsmith Webb Hilgar had a lovely DH-Grade 20-gauge in his shop. My Father wasn't going over $100 for a Damascus gun and Webb was at $125.

I think there are more 20 gauge damascus guns than some may be thinking.

I am certain there are more grade 2, 20ga. Damascus guns, than listed in the TPS. I have seen 2 listed for sale in the last couple of weeks. There was one at Baltimore last month. I am looking forward to the Southern and hoping Rich brings one of his along with brother Daryl's. I know of another that is supposed to be coming. Not like I am keeping track or anything

Not only books missing but quite possible the counts of the ones you have records for could be off because of human error .

According to TPS only 8 C grade 20's were built with 26 inch Damascus barrels. You have one Bruce as do I so that only leaves 6 to find

I showed a picture of one of the three also. No, I figure there are at least a couple of hundred Dam 20's. It's a beautiful gun and gage.
