I once owned a WC Scott 12b hammer gun, two barrel set (30" & 40"). I can tell you it was well made and the engraving (95% coverage) was deep and perfectly executed. 10-15 years ago I saw another WC Scott hammergun that Brad Bachelder was in the process of restoring. the locks had the face of a Springer spaniel that was unbelievably detailed, the finest engraving of a dog that I have ever seen, by a mile.
Some day I would love to own a 16b Pape hammergun but if the gun-gods don't give me that opportunity I would buy another WC Scott. You will get A LOT of gun for the money.
