My only new gun in several years, courtesy of a fine member, and I would not have done it had another fine member not urged me to.

My only hammer gun. 1885 C Bernard top action hammer 12ga. Spent many years at the Charles Parker Salesroom in New York City, and went back and forth several times to Meriden, one of them presumably to have the rib matted when matting came out in 1886.
