Good info in this article about the gun and general info on superposed shotguns The wood was professionally redone by James Flynn who sometimes posts here. Lives in Louisiana. Master gunsmith.

The best shotgun thread on any internet site. Settle down with a good bourbon and read the thread from the beginning. Yes, 169,000 hits, all about the Captain Charles Askins Superposed.
