16ga would be tempting though.

Thanks Geo. I have neither a 16ga or a hammergun, and it does look nice (by my standards = low), but I don't need another "shouldn't have bought it" experience.

I looks like the 1897 images here, except that the checkering is more worn, the color is largely gone, and the damascus contrast is more muted.
