Lloyd 3. The Adams is a second line London maker gun but it is just as good as the Purdey and in some respects better. This gun was a working for a living gun on both sides of the fence from Victorian times Game Keeping/Poaching. The Violin case was at the time very intentional well here in Brit land no one would pay it much attention walking with it or being in the back of an Automobile or Van (I do not have any idea what you call small Vans on your side of the pond). The gun did belong to the last member of a Poaching family whose great grandfather kept and fed a family of eight on the proceeds of poaching, his grand farther did the same though he did work at keapering his farther worked on both sides of the fence more keapering than poaching. And not to elaborate to much the last owner passed all the finer and practical points of poaching to me as well as the the gun . I kept the gun in all of my vehicles well you did not know when the opportunity would come for a little poaching. The gun is a 12 gauge but no other side by side gun I owned would ever fit in this violin case. I did think of putting down on paper my poaching exploits with the gun in the violin case though they do say "discretion is the better part of valour " so up to now I am still thinking about it. The gun has a top strap that is not very common.











I did forget to say that Here in Brit land Poaching is a clandestine undertaking carried out in the dark extremely silently , the Barking iron" is for the exception not the normal.
