as the heading says do you hunt with a DHE 12 gauge. I am looking at a 28 inch gun. Just want some photos to get me fired up to buty tomorrow as I have it set back right now

thanks Craig - there seems to be a few of these first year class showing up- the home page says my 55801 was built in 1888, the letter says it was shipped in Feb 1889
