About 15 years ago at the Las Vegas show,I spotted an English gun case I wanted to buy. The gun in it looked like a nice one, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I really just wanted the case. The owner didn't want to sell the case alone. When I got back home, I gradually realized the seller wasn't asking all that much for the gun and case. I sent him a check,and when the case arrived I was amazed to see how nice a gun the Joseph Harkom really was.I've enjoyed it ever since. About three years ago I found another,not entirely original but almost better since it had been rebarreled by Boss with best chopper lump barrels sometime in the fifties.Does anyone know if Harkom records are available? Incidentally, the Harkom actions bear a striking resemblance to those Daniel Fraser used in his double rifles. Was there some connections between the two shops?
