Only one--a Tolley 500 black powder express (No. 2), back action hammer gun with a Jones underlever. Steel barrels have perfect bores and the English walnut wood is likewise. Horn buttplate and prince of wales gripcap is also horn. If I remember correctly, the powder charge is engraved on the side of the action. Factory swivels and file cut dead flat rib. Two leaf rear sight and easily changeable front sight. Slides out like my Mauser .22 model 410 b.

Here is one of my favorite German sxs in 14ga...it's a little slow to load but great on a hunt.

Here is a interesting Hammer gun that I once owned. It had 2 sets of Bernard barrels. The shotgun barrels were very worn and showed no finish. The rifle barrels were unused and as new in the case. The safety was in the grip. It was a very well made gun made pre 1870 for some German baron from the research that I did.

This gun is a 12/16 two gauge two barrel set that was imported to Los Angeles in the 1930's. Very well made gun with side clips, Greener style crossbolt, and ejectors. The engraving while typical Germanic style is still very well done. The 12ga barrels are 32" and the 16ga are 30", both made by Krupp. There is no makers name on the gun but in my opinion they were very talented.

WJ Jeffrey 12 gauge from 1937. It was made as a waterfowler with 1 1/4 oz proofs. Very nice handling gun.
