Great news Chris. It looks as if Christmas has arrived early in your household. It would be nice to see more photos of her.

I have just looked in an old Eley Trade catalogue; which sadly is undated but I think from the 1950's and is still advertising Thin Brass cases for 10 bore 3 1/4" and 12 bore ones from 2 1/2" to 3 1/4". I would suspect that they were of pre war vintage as they were just being sold off as cases. Good luck with taking her shooting. I still would be interested as to how your Game Wardens would describe it; would it be a 10 bore or an 8 bore by their definition? Lagopus.....
