George,

I like the idea of 28's a lot but it could be too narrow. Not enough guns can be put together for display!

I do like the idea do the double beaded guns as well. Lets pin this down in the next couple of days.

[C.O.B.]

You could combine the two catagories.

28 gauge was done in Ohio. There was no shortage of display guns and I even displayed an outrageous cased DHE vent rib 28. Kevin McCormack and I did an over the top Parker .410 display at Baltimore one year, but I don't know if PGCA has done .410s yet. Kevin's display had an Abercrombie and Fitch cased skeet, BHE vent rib, G Grade .410, factory A-1 Special Repro, Geoffrey Gournet engraved A-1 Repro, you name it. For a one table display, it was pretty neat.

Double beaded 28's? Hahahahaha!

How about we stick with ivory, en mass....?

[Bill Murphy]

I have a couple of three beaded Parkers and another member has at least one. The Gold Hearts gun has three or four beads on the Damascus barrels as I recall, two gold and one or two ivory. I'll have to check.

How about we just have a Bill Murphy theme? I have a feeling he could just put on a one-man show. He would have to rent an armored car for transport. We might not have enough table space.

I like the 28 ga idea and I think there would be enough 28's for a display.

Guys,

If we can rally support and guns for 28s it can happen. Just takes a few guys to bring them out.

[Double Lab]

OK- I start it off with my two 28's..... VH26" and VHE30" both 00 frames.

D grade 28ga with Damascus barrels... Can also bring VHE skeet gun
