Mills the only difficult task is deciding what to sell in order to keep within my self imposed limit on the number of shotguns I own. It's a little easier for me since my son is happy to accept my excess inventory.
 He graciously accepted a 20ga Fox Sterlingworth to ease my pain. I believe you will be in the same straights in a few years when your boys are a little older.  Sorry to all for corrupting this thread and getting way off topic.

Craig, I was the guy you beat out in the bidding for that gun. Had a deal worked out with the seller outside of the auction process but you put your GB bid in before we could close the auction, and the rest is history. A really nice gun and glad it went to someone who appreciates it.

Don: Steve Borst told me the story. I had been watching the gun on GB all Fall but the pictures were not great so I never made a bid. I was thinking about driving to Schenectady but duck season and the holidays got in the way. Then I get PP and I see the article on the gun and I say to myself I have seen that gun before. The difference was the pictures in PP were clear and sharp. So I went to my computer and put in my bid.

Craig, I did go up to Steve's place and looked at the gun a couple of weeks ago. The dimensions weren't great for me, so I passed. Had second thoughts and you know the rest. That gun has a great stick of wood on it, and the engraving is a little unique in that it only has the single dog head on each side verse the standard two full dogs. Neat gun, my loss and your gain, congratulations.
Don |

Parker Pages arrived here on the Washington/Idaho border Friday. Good to have an explanation of the 12A and 12B brass cases. I have found the A and B caveat for brass shells in the 1877 E. Remington & Sons catalog and the 1880, 1882, 1884 and 1885-6 Union Metallic Cartridge Co. catalogs. Here in the 1885-6 --
