battue, I am not much on sxs's any more. Have my grandfathers Fox 12.. Sterlingworth.. That 3" 16 ga. caught my attention.. Major Charles Askins wrote of having a 3" 16 ga. but probably by Ithaca.. I think his had twist barrels.. I love this stuff about old shotguns.. I bought a Parker 12 ga trap gun one time from Cabela's.. Laid it away really.. I was into doubles real heavy at the time.. I had to give it up as my wife needed an operation.. She was more important to me than a smoothbore.. Love seeing these fine doubles..
