I own the same gun brother John. It is indeed the size of a crew served weapon, but have you ever seen such graceful hammers on a big gun? I have used mine on fresh water ducks and winter wheat geese with equal effectiveness. An ounce and a quarter of biz 2's or 4's will do wonders for either. Sent the SN to Graham Greener and he was kind enough to send it's history. THough it says "trap gun", I am convinced these were built as something of the last word in a reasonably priced pigeon gun. Those same attributes make for a heck of a waterfowl gun. One other thing. The damascus on mine and one other I have seen is of very good quality and well worth restoring by Kearcher or another pro. Congrats.
