Must be the time for old Elsie's to show up. I found one languishing with a VH. They looked so forlorn together I decided they both needed a new home. Both are quite shootable. The Smith is a little newer than yours at 175xxx but it has lovely 10ga bores with just the slightest pitting. Haven't weighed it but I'm pretty sure that when I take it to break in on a few roosters, I won't be heading out for a couple hours hike. I have a couple spots in mind for a short hike that could be productive. When Parkeritis drags one into the even darker side of double guns a guy could end up with something very weird, like a 16ga Francotte with very strange forearm underlever arrangement. Yes, it came home but in my defence, I'm thinking about selling something - maybe next year or the year after.
