I chose it because I collect Powells - and of course, I like it.

I believe that most, if not all the 2" guns, were from the same collector.

The gun was originally sold on 14 October 1942 for £52/10.

Peter Powell told me that while he worked at the bench, they made a couple of 2" guns.

I suspect that my gun came from S&W or some other external source.

Well, I am envious. The wood is wonderful. The drop would be pretty hard for me to fit as I like about 2.5" at the heel, but the length is great. The itch to have one of these 2" wonders grows a bit more every day. I'm thinking a 12 2 will be close to ideal for grouse hunting. Not sure I want to try it on pheasant though

Do you hunt with it? .
