WagonWillie:

My stab at the listing:

"Corte Sigismondo, Genova, azzaliniere e archibugiaro, met� del XIX secolo. La firma Sigismondo Corte compare sull'acciarino sinistro a percussione e molla avanti e la dizione in Genova sull'acciarino destro di un fucile c. 1845 a due canne giustapposte"


My stab at the listing would be Corte Sigismondo in Genova, adorner/engraver & arquebusier(gunmaker) from the mid 19th Century. The firm's name or Corte Sigismondo is on the left lock & Geneva on the right lock of a mid 1840s percussion side by side.

One other nice feature I found upon inspection that wasn't in the ad. Articulated front trigger. What a gem.

The LP shells are loaded and if it ever stops raining.....doves beware.

Slid thru the woods with the O&D this AM. Everything is still wet in TX so you could maneuver like an undetected Indian. 3 squirrels and a young coyote fell to the 16ga. Tomorrow.... squirrels over mash potatoes.

Lovin life with the new shotgun.

Sounds like a Gem of a smoke pole.

I actually have the surname Ellenburg. My parents wanted my sister & I to have unique names. Had they have known just how many times I would sign my name, then they may not have pulled the name of some kid fishing on a dock in a early 1960s movie starring Alan Ladd.

Ah, thanks! I didn't mean to get so personal...but I did.

The Urban Dictionary defines "Raimey" as "A beautifully amazing girl, who's definition is one that could not be described. Is always in a good mood. Loves talking. And has an amazing smile. Every guy wishes they could date her. But she only truly loves one guy. He also very amazing. But Raimey happens to be better. She's the girl that any guy could ask for. She fulfills any gap in a mans heart. Most guys go for her because of her amazing body. But only one guy goes for her because of her personality too. And he loves her very much." So that's what piqued my curiosity.
