Second gun after the Trojan Skeet Gun.
The engraving on the trigger guard doesn't look "crisp" enough to be new to me and the screw looks a bit iffy. 237449 04.jpg |

Good thing it's to spendy for me, cause first thing I'd do is take it out and shoot it.

I'm thinking the Market will soon reveal the value of that gun.
We need to be good sports if it sells for too much

Coming on eighty, I have developed a strategy for selling off. Sell the high grade and high condition stuff first. You are less likely to take a bath than your heirs. Leave the low grades and project guns for someone else to worry about. I'll bet that the owner of this GHE is my age.

Bobby, the 'Book' for 237449 say P2 H 2 C 12 26, meaning Grade 2 Parker Special Steel, Hammerless, Option code 2 (ejectors) 12ga, 26" The box marking of chokes wouldn't be reflected in the info in the serialization book, and whether the box is correct at Imp Cyl, and Imp Cyl wouldn't seem as likely as the gun actually being IC and Imp Mod. The "SPECIAL" is anyone's guess, but as the chokes may have been IC and IC, which might have been a specific request, that might have been the meaning.
I'm only speculating, and was more involved in my deal than the details of the subject gun. The engraving, as Dean noted, is clearly R Runge, but it is so crisp, it gave me the thought that he may have paid more attention to it than ordinary. All of the birds seemed more lifelike. |

I want that gun, but A: I can't afford it, and B: I would get frustrated owning something that nice that I couldn't use.
I have sold most of my guns that are too nice to use, even though I did use them all to one extent or another. |
