I have been selling and giving my double gun collection away for the past couple of years I gave a couple of 16 ga. to hunting buddies in the past month a 16 Ferlach made gun to my local friend. Last week a 16 ga. ejector Charles Osbourne to my Grouse hunting friend in Pa. He,s putting  the dandy little wand to good use.

Fantastic picture!! Thanks for sharing. You are very generous to pass along some of your guns and your friends are very, very fortunate.

Beautiful picture. There is a strange quality to it ...... almost looks like an old Lassel Ripley painting, except for the dogs' "panting".
Anyway, I'm just an old Southern boy, raised on doves, ducks and quail ..... But that bird hanging by it's head sure doesn't look like a grouse to me.
All my best, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

That was taken at a large game land track the state keeps stocking
with Pheasant but there are still Grouse and woodcock through there.
Damn ditch Parrots keep getting in the way and have to be kept down ya know I even shot a few bob whites there this year that someone must have let loose for dog training.

Pennsylvania has huge tracks of public land that anyone can hunt. I guess that's why I was so surprised by South Dakota and all of the private and posted land. Great pic.

Wonderful.
I have a few pieces I've been able to buy from my aging shooting buddies, and a couple more that were fairly purchased from estates of same.
More than a gun. Each is a part of an old friend.
You can't put a price on that.
