Some refer to engraving as "scratchings".

Shrapnel, what's goin' on here? That "turkey gun" has no extended supertight magical Venturi-bored choke, no camo paint, and it ain't even an automagic.... And where's the camo variable scope with the "Turkey Plex" reticle?
HIGHLY irregular, sir.

No magazine cap weight balancer. And when the Dog catches them you don't even need a shotgun.

Cool!!!!
Looks like it locks up like many sxs's of today. The Brits were waaaaay ahead of us when it came to shotgun design.

I have an old side lever like that Hume, it has a rifle barrel on one side in 40-65. It weights a ton on that one side,s

It has done ok. We are batting around .300 with it. Could have been better in that I have missed some eaaaaasy shots with it, but that is ok also. However with IC choke it has hammered Birds that were centered. I've been impressed with how well the 28 does. Have shot clays with Improved choke and with the advantage of knowing where and when it impresses even more. Summation is it carries easy, shoots straight and misses are on me. Have switched off with it and the Model 12 16g and the Model 59 12. The Parker Repo 16g hopefully will get some wood time this week.

Ah! Another Gem.. When I had my collection of doubles, I wanted a shootable hammer gun in the worst way.. Never did get it.. Do you shoot these old hammer guns with black powder loads.. Beautiful weapons. Thanks for the photos..
Battue, good luck on the birds.. this was the worst grouse season I have had in quite a few years.. Always next year.. Best of luck to you..

Shrap, I'm going to your estate auction. Hope it's not too soon!

You can't tell without the aviators, but that is the newest Campfire moderator and his Benelli 20 gauge making a fine shot on a Sharptail in North-Central Montana on a private ranch where the owner didn't want us to be...
