What a beauty!! Nice one David.
Does anyone know the ratio of 10 ga. vs. 12 ga. guns in that grade? |

David,
Very nice gun, thanks for sharing the pictures. My old lifter 12 gage is within 50 numbers of Austin's and when I requested a letter I was told there was not enough info on guns in that (1874) age group. Did you ask Mark if he could do a letter? I am guessing your gun is in the 3,000 serial range so if you can get a letter then perhaps there is still hope for my gun. Please let me know how you make out. Larry |

I have a 250.00 gun SN: 3130. I was told a long time ago, maybe by Oscar G. that you could identify the 250.00 grade by the little tear-drop inside the larger tear-drop, on the breech balls. The engraving is a little sparse, for a gun of this quality, but is quite good!
My gun is in pretty decent shape, with the bonus of having very modern dimensions. I have used this gun on box birds, (with special loads, of course) skeet, SC's, and light hunting duties. I'm guessing that the original owner purchased this gun for pigeons, judging by the dimensions. |
