What are the boxlocks? First one looks like a Daly maybe (and a whole bunch of condition to boot)... the rest all look like guild guns... love to hear more about them or see more pics.
Daly it is made by H.A.Lindner in 1912. 16ga that weighs 5 3/4lbs with 28" barrels.
Next is a Franz Sodia from Ferlach, Austria made in 1932 with 30" barrels.
Last is a 16ga F.W. Heym made in 1923 with 26" barrels.
Thanks for the interest and compliments on the photos.
I had the good fortune to aquire Major Charles Askins Sr.'s personal 1932 custom ordered Browning Superposed. I didn't know the provenance at the time, but learned after the fact.
On the www.shotgunworld.com web site, Browning Forum, under 1933 Superposed, you'll find the story, including a bunch of stuff about the Askins family. The thread is now on page five of the Browning Forum. Over 30K hits since Nov. 2007.
Check it out (be sure you have some extra time)...
Bought that one and another from Jaquay's when PR's went out of business. They had a couple hundred of them. Should have bought many more. Still have and hunt the other. A 20/16 two barrel set on a 20Ga frame. Which would be this one.
However, this one comes out when I decide to get evil. Model 59 Winchester.
My Father's 16Ga Parker with Miller trigger-and the prerequisite BP box-run of the mill wood added to the back.
What it does best. Don't know who the guy is with all that dark hair. "Duffy", The best I have ever had. Shotguns should have a Dog with them, so bear with me.
Battue you have me lmao! Great picture of you????? LOL. You got Tobey in the picture with a grouse and a semi. Poor Tobey bring him here I will give him a good home. With a respectable own that will frame him in pictures with side by sides. LMAO. Have a great 4th of July weekend buddy. Wife and I are heading up to Maine tonight for the weekend.
Yea that be me.!!!! 25years ago to be exact. You want funny? I have some, that I if I put them on a disk and post, border on scary funny.
Just came back from a 2.5hour hike with a 40lb pack just so I can try to keep up with you young Bucks. I'm guessing I look kind of funny now too. Hey, its all cool.
You also, drive safe and have fun. Talk to you later and we will plan on hooking up for a shoot.
