Here's my 20 gauge Thomas Bland and Sons , Damascus , nitro proofed. Next to it is the 16 gauge FAIR 40th Anniversaire that I got for a birthday present from the wife- 40 only in each gauge and no 12's! This one is super light, back trigger is the IC, front is mod on the 28"barrel, but as ordered by me. Here's the Bland in its case, rosewood rod sits under the barrels. Cat

This arrived last May. A 16 gauge flintlock fowler by Mike Brooks. Been shooting Trap with it and working up loads. It goes into the field next week when the Upland season opens in PA. holy crud... that's going to be adding a unique challenge to upland hunting!! What does that thing weight? This would certainly require that follow through thing... I like your style and can respect the challenge that you are adding... but I hope you have a dog that holds them tight! Sorry that I missed your question when it was posted. How much does it weigh? Six pounds four ounces. Points like a wand. Pete

Since I had to take these for a different thread, I figured I may as well post them here too. Not the best, it's overcast and flat light outside right now (gonna snow later...), but here ya go. Top to bottom: 12 Ga 685 Target with 30" barrels 20 ga 685 Target with 28" barrels 28 ga 685 Target with 28" barrels 28 ga 605 Hunting with 26" barrels (the "new" one). Missing is the 3-barrel set. Wood is actually better on all that it looks here, but the lighting just wouldn't cooperate.

Always wanted a nice English style double and finally found one for a decent price. Grulla 12 gauge 27-1/2" barrels. Best as I can tell it is a Model 209E.

Been awhile not sure if I posted in the thread before but oh well... My "go-to shotgun" Belgian/French SxS 12 bore from the 1950s, Belgian action that was finished by a French artisan maker Seytre. Also I love my old GDR drilling as well:

Whelanman, I see your Peiper has the original :monobloc" barrels, a Peiper specialty, if not their invention.
Does it have a steel monobloc on Damascus barrels? I've seen several of those; kinda the best of both worlds in those days.

That Anthena has spectacular wood!! here's a pick of my son and his skeet gun, it's a mauser 76, but OEM by Gamba. Super gun swings beautifully! Cat I just looked at this pic again and realized that I made a terrible mistake!! That is not his Gamba, but in fact a custom ordered FAIR LX600 goose with 34" barrels , and 12 gauge 3 1/2" chambers!! Cat

Didn't think this one would ever come back to normal. While in the process of taking a fall that I knew was going to last a few seconds I wanted rid of the shotgun and gave it a pitch up the hill. When I climbed back up, the stock was cracked and shattered thru the wrist. One good twist would have left it in two pieces. Knew a fellow who I thought maybe able to bring it back, but it turns out he retired and trained a young kid to follow in his footsteps. He said don't worry Wes will do just fine. Trusted the lad and more than happy with how it turned out. Parker Reproduction: 20/16 Ga two barrel set. Case Hardening is gone from the receiver and the 16Ga barrel has lost most of its blue. 20Ga barrels are virgin for the exception of one Grouse kill. The 16 barrels have taken more than I could ever remember. The stock was pretty beat up before the fall from hanging around the Grouse wood for almost 20 years. Time to start over and the wear the shine off again. Hoopefully without breaking it.
