Default Anybody have English or German sxs?

From the Golden era? Any fancy guns from Prussia or The top makers in England (Rigby, Westley, Boss, Etc..) I'm always hesitant to post what I have, but I just might make an exception.

I have a very nice Williams and Powell underlever 12 bore in the throws of restoration,I just recently gave up a very nice Sauer 16...these old European guns are quality throughout ,no point left untouched .

I almost forgot my big Greener 32 inch 2 5/8 ,10 bore ,according to Mr. Greener most likely a commercial hunters gun no engraving other than the makers name but the wood is beautiful

Holland & Holland 1891 Royal Grade 2 1/2" 12 ga. 30" driven game gun. At 6lbs. she handles like a fine medium weight fly rod! One of the very last of the old "dip locks" before they went to the fully elliptical lock plate.

I have a G.E. Lewis and Sons Magnum Wildfowler shipped to Nova Scotia in 1928. It is a 12 gauge proofed for 3" shells and 1-1/2 ounces of shot. The 32" barrels are both choked full.

I'm thinking of parting with my Parker 28gauge and picking up something from h&h, westley or Rigby in a more useable caliber. The 28 is neat but I just never use it, I get my 12s more often then not.
