I have my Dad's old 16 gauge H&A single, which is probably the first gun he actually owned. I also have an old Birmingham proofed W Richards that belonged to his Father, my Grandfather. My Son has an H&A (.32 S & W (not long)) top break revolver which belonged to him & my Grandson has a Winchester low wall in 22 long which he bought during the depression for less than a dollar. This gun was actually bought for my Dad's younger brother but ended up being given to my Grandson by my First Cousin, This was the first gun I ever shot.

The little H&R 28 gauge was the first shotgun I shot. The first rifle I owned was a Stevens model 15 bolt action single in 22 LR. First shotgun I owned was a J Stevens Arms & Tool Co 12 gauge double, wish I still had it. My only desire for the little 22 would be pure nostalgia as the first gun I owned.
