It is interesting I keep getting sidetracked by different stories in that era.Growing up there (SC) was always an adventure.Now when I return I'm shocked to see all the development.But some of those small towns haven't changed much.

Bob, I brought the story of another South Carolina C Grade to the top, in case you haven't read it. It is on this subforum and titled "A C Grade Without Barrels". I hope you enjoy it.

That was a great read thanks for bringing that to my attention.Well I have contacted some family to see if anyone knows some of the Dantzlers from Orangeburg.My cousin is dating one as we speak so this might be real interesting.
Still looking and keep ya'll posted. Got to figure out what to do with her now.Spoke to a few and really not sure which direction to go,keep as is,restore or sale/trade. Whatever I do I better hury as hunting season is coming fast and I don't like to just look at fine guns. |

The letter gave you a LOT of good info on the gun! That is what you want from a letter.
The pad on the gun is correct, which is very good. Now, that particular pad is not the original pad since the letter calls for a silvers pad and that one on it now looks to be a Jostam. Original pad was likely worn out and replaced. And that one is worn now too. But, at least you know what should be on there. The one barrel set being cut down is too bad. Yes, that hurts what the value of the gun COULD be, but ultimately the gun is still worth a good amount given what it is. Many 2 barrel sets have been broken up over the years. Yours has not, just you lost half of the one set. Now... If you were to be able to find another set of Titanic ejector barra in that length, they could be fitted up and made to look like the matching set. You have the forend. Titanic steel barrels are a little bit more rare on a CH grade, but very plentiful due to them being standard on DH grades. It is truely unfourtunately that the 30" set were cut. 30" 20g barrels are rare. Might be hard to find a replacement set in that length.

Seems Mr Dantzler had a lot of interest in Orangeburg.

Guys, maybe it was factory but do both barrels not look cut? No beads? Still a great find, wow!

Sorry the barrels are upside down in the picture.The bead elevated them just enough to see clearer.
I was questioning the charges from the factory for the work listed.Is there any where to find the typical charge for factory service at different time periods? I read somewhere that a recoil pad install was $2.50 so that leaves a good bit still on the table for charges. |
