My recent favorite western with double guns is "Appaloosa", in which the actor Viggo Mortensen carries "The 8 Gauge".

I recall a character with a shotgun on the old "Wyatt Earp" TV show. Think it was a 10 gauge. The name Shotgun Gibbs sticks with me for some reason. And of course Doc Holliday did carry a shotgun at the OK Corral.

Shooting at Highclere [Downton Abbey] is reviewed in the book, "The Great Shoots",by Brian P Martin,on pages 155-162. We learn that Lord Porchester, heir to lord Carnarvon, ran the shoot in the 1984-5 season and that he used a pair of Purdeys with pistol grips and 30 inch barrels,also that he was a very fine shot. It is unlikely that these family guns would be used as props in the production Downton Abbey.

One Carnarvon was the man who discovered King Tut's tomb . . . and supposedly died as a result of the tomb's curse.

That was him, was mentioned earlier in the thread.
I saw a documentary on him not long ago, he loved motor cars, especially the faster ones and was in a few accidents as a result….one particular rather nasty crash left him with a few broken bones, he was prescribed a long stay in a warmer climate to speed up the healing, that’s what led him to Egypt... the rest is history, as they say.
He died of Sepsis as a result of a mosquito bite he got while at the banks of the river Nile.
