Grouse gun

[Woodcock survey]

That was its intended purpose. They who made them made them to be used. The joy in these guns is found in there use, not as curios.

I could not agree more. I quite like the PH. Yours is a nice example. I’m not a fan of storing a gun in a case. Protecting the gun during transport, yes but long term storage, not so much. I have seen some that languished inside a case to only be found in rusted condition years later. Unless you are referring to a display case, then your PH is a fine addition to be removed and exercised often!!
