Some years ago I picked up this well used 1889-vintage heavy 2-frame Damascus barrel 12-gauge, that was back to Meriden some time after 1918 for a set of 32-inch Vulcan Steel, 3-inch chambered, 20-gauge barrels with forearm. The 12-gauge Damascus barrels are very thick and straight with little or no swamp and the gun weighs just over nine pounds with them in place. The 20-gauge barrels swamp a lot and the gun weighs 8 pounds 4.5 ounces with them in place. I displayed this gun at The Vintage Cup at Sandanona in 2005, and also had it with me and showed it around some at Pintail Point in 2008, though I was working the A.H. Fox Collectors booth then.
