Short chamber 10 bores are not much in demand. Ammo is rarely seen today, making it even more a cult gauge than the 16 or 28 has become. As it is described it is a decorative item only. It is tired, been used and abused and does not need anymore stress. If it could talk you would feel the certain need to buy it a drink or can of oil for its troubled past. At least they have not polished it up all shinny and chrome like.
