The only sad thing atleast to my way of thinking , is the fact that before we got the 12 and 20 they used to be part of a trio . The gentleman that owned both of them also had a 16 W&C Scott from the same period and also having belonged to one of the Peter's descendants from the cartridge company . And sadly that one was sold to an outdoor writer in the Shenendoah Valley of Virginia before we were ever made aware of them being for sale !

And the owner/descendent was one of our semi close neighbors . He had his insurance man brokering them for him

Was the writer Roger Barlow? How were Roger's guns sold after his death? I have always referred to RB as a neighbor even though I can't quite throw a baseball from my house in MD to his. I foolishly traded my W&C Scott 16 away at an Allentown gun show more than 20 years ago. I had owned it since I was 15 years old. I shot my first box birds with it the year I bought it, never should have let it go.

When we got the 12 and 20 I think I was about 14 so that would have been about 1975 and at the time I think the writer was in his 30's or 40's . So I doubt if he was Roger Barlow , I think in 1975 Barlow would have already been in his mid to late 50's . But I could be wrong as it was almost 40 yers ago .

My father talked with the guy on the phone a couple times and we had his contact info somewhere and that seems to have vanished .
