Can't resist taking pics and showing my early 1930's 12 gauge double

I don't know about pictures, but I think I would fondle it a lot! Nice.

Very nice.

Beautiful, what is the secret to posting pictures direct?

Very nice scatter gun... I enjoy looking at your pictures. Thanks for posting buddy!!

What a beauty!

Thanks
To me it's even more special because it is a standard grade unembellished gun that is nonetheless quite handsome

It's probably a joy to carry in the field too. I always enjoy taking my AH Fox Sterlingworth out and hunting with it... Just something about the old side by sides that is very intriguing...

Don't laugh at me!!! I see that as the perfect "gotta go into the bush after a leopard" shotgun. Super reliable, no BS. Double triggers. I had a Sauer like that. Only 2.75 inched, but handled like a dream.

I know what you mean. It is the standard grade guns that made the reputations of the classics. No matter the gun; handgun, scattergun, or rifle, the standard grade guns that more folks could afford and that just flat worked made the reputations!

Yes!
I have a 70 and a 97, and I used to have a 12 and a 94, and each one of them fit your observation exactly.

This one has seen more than 100 years of pot filling. I still hunt with it each year.
