With the right barrels and appropriate CH grade wood, this one would look much better. What is amazing is somebody spent some time and money making it that ugly.

What a shame. And one of the first C grade damascus 10 gauge hammerless guns made.

Be careful of ten gauge hammerless guns that early. Some of the first guns were made for famous shooters, some of them Parker shooters. Any hammerless guns of this serial number range should be lettered to determine the name of the original owner.

I have seen the GUN and it is gorgeous.
What a great climax to a long hunt.
I hope someone photographed it and will post pictures.

I saw it too and it sure was beautiful. It was good to see a lot of you in Georgetown and hope to meet the rest of you at a future event

This gun linked on GA was originally a 10ga? Sure doesn't look like 28" bbls, but the buttstock makes it look pretty out of balance. I see some serious rasp work in that stocks future...

Tom, You, David and the others involved put on a first class meeting. Julia and I had a great time and we are working on arranging for Sanford.

Linda and I went around the course with Mills and Julia and had a great time. Yup, Tom and David were great hosts. Thank you for the comments about the old brown CH Bernard gun. I put out a full history of its original owner and seller who were both from nearby Charleston. More than a few read about the gun and the family history of the original owner, and commented on the local connection.
