I live near the seller....worth a look? Average British maker?

6.9lbs. may be a stretch though, considering the 30" barrels?

As a salesman at one of our local used gun shops asked me, "What does NEED have to do with it?" I decided, even though the question was a rhetorical one, that he made a good point.

I am a member (and the seller) although not listed here do to cross border issues, I will pay Dave his due if the OP purchases it.

The answer is of course YES !

Certainly a handsome working-class lady of respectable age & upbringing.

Hi Mark, when I saw the original posting and realized it was in Canada, I went to take a look. Got stopped on my registration because "Canvasback" is taken on that forum, so I had to think up a new moniker. Now thinking up the new one isn't hard, it's thinking up one I will remember that is the problem. All this is a long way to say, thanks for posting the pics.

My pleasure James, it is posted on CGN as well.

When will I see you for a round of sporting clays? I have a few recent acquisitions that I'm sure you would enjoy seeing.

Mark

If I bring the shells, can I take her for a test drive Mark?

Don.

Well, that's an offer that is hard to refuse, Mark. Give me until early May. I'm swamped at work right now. Then I can plan a day up your way and hopefully bring a couple to show you as well. That Midland looks pretty great for original. Not for me at the moment but it will make someone happy.

James

Absolutely Don!

Dal, I have a Midland - love it, but it's not a hammer gun - sure like the look of the one you have pictured - like others have said, "need" has nothing to do with it - I'd grab that in a heartbeat.

Meh: It's only got steel barrels...

That underlever damascus single, on the other hand, looks very interesting...
