Mine is a 16 gauge and is an early model which is also good. The bluing is almost all gone which I like because it means this gun has been on many good hunts.

The first time I shot the gun was a week ago at the annual RCF&G corn roast. We open up the trap range after eating and before any serious drinking. I brought the gun and a box of assorted left over target loads. My frend, Jeff, forgot about the shooting part and didn't bring a gun. Being short of amo, we signed up for for a 10 target flight and passed the gun back and forth, sharing amo. Jeff killed nine and I got eight. He wanted to know if I would part with it. It will shoot where it's pointed. We are going to SD the end of October and it's going with me. I will have my smith check the bore/choke relationship (it's stamped mod) and see if it can be used with an oz. of Black Cloud #3s where notox is required. A Parker will be going, of course, along with the two dogs. At this point, I am leaning toward my Gaddy restored GH 12. It's choked 0.009 right and 0.032 left (good grouse gun too). For it, I use an oz pushed by PB to about 1200fps.

I suspect that the sellor doesn't understand that one can safely shoot damascus barrels. If the gun has little rust on the outside or inside I'd shoot it with RST loads. It'd look at the thickness of the barrels too.
If the gun closes tight and the barrels look okay with little rust and the muzzles don't look thin I'd shoot it. It certainly is a pretty thing isn't it. |

James just happens to be strictly a collector, not a shooter. He thinks all of these nice old guns should be admired and not used.
This gun has beautiful Damascus bbls with perfect bores and extra full chokes.
