I saw one in Springfield Missouri in the early 1990s in a pawnshop. It had a round semi pistol grip, and the feature that stood out to me was on the bottom it had a red stag or an elk engraved. The price was $300. At the time I did not know that Damascus barrel guns could be used, they were just old guns like my grandfather used, and though he shot high brass magnums through a Damascus gun, it was noted that he went to church every Sunday. Much later after Charles Semmer's book was published, I stopped by the pawn shop when I was in Springfield, and asked about the shotgun. I was told that it was now in the shop owners " museum". I know, Researcher, no pic no gun, but I wrote to Semmer about this one.

Randy, was it a 16 or a 12?

It was a 16. I had just got interested in the 16 and the 16ga society. Instead of buying the Remington, I bought a 16 Parker DHE with ruined barrels that I sent to Kirk Merrington.

That's a great line, Randy.

It was a W Richards 12 ga hammer double- $5 from the Sears Roebuck catalog. I'm 54 and I remember him loading his coat pocket with those blue Peter's shells that the brass was half the shell and take the dogs and go fox hunting.
