AA hammer gun, 32" Whitworth Barrels in 12ga twin Ivory beads, deep relief engraving, with SSBP and Oyster shell stock. That gun would set me back 400-700 bucks then, but now that same gun, if it could be had! will cost you 200,000 plus. So I continue to dream on! Gary

Gary, I'll keep a watch for that for you. Please look for a 16 ga C hammer for me.
I've seen the Whitworth barrels and the shell grip stock on hammer guns but never all of what you want. By the way, the C hammer Bernard I got from you is having a SSBP put back on with a short and hopefully undetectable stock extension and a reproduction period correct leather Parker trunk case is being made. What, about five known and this will put the gun back the way it should be.
For those who have not considered a hammer gun, I think you should take a look at them. Parker hammer guns are pretty neat.
