And how many "shot out 80 year old" Foxes have you owned?

I have a Sterlingworth 16 gauge made in 1924 that came from Maryland. From the looks of it when I got it it must have been used as a paddle by a Chesapeake Bay oyster man. At 86 years old it still on face, snaps shut with authority and handle "store bought" ammunition with ease.
