I am of the opinion that a pre-1913 "farm implement" 16g Smith with 28-30" barrels is upland utility, grace and elegance defined.

Armour- or Armor Steel, Drewbie? I thought that only the Limeys added the superfluous vowel "U" to words that really do NOT need it- Honor, Color, armor, etc. Of course, then there is "Whiskey" versus Whisky" for those of us than enjoy a bourbon and branch water après the shoot..
