Mr. Gordon: Please protect that fine Dickson from the myriad hazards of a duck marsh. And well done on finding its history. Fully half the pleasure of owning these grand old guns is the provenance they carry with them.

Thanks, John. You are so right about the pleasure of serving as caretaker for these fine pieces of history. And I promise to be careful with this gun on its one or two outings in coming seasons.
