Ernie, very glad to hear about your youngest son's decision to get licensed. Those are a pair of lovely guns. That they have special meaning for you is a bonus.
My son is licensed here in Canada but I expect it will still be a good while before I depart this mortal coil. Besides him, I have three nephews who enjoy guns and shooting. I have enough guns now (I almost find the chase better than the possession) that i will likely start scattering a few of them among the four of them in the not too distant future.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

There's also the issue of British English vs American usage on this side of the pond. It seems to me that I've heard the term "keeper's gun" (I think possessive) in the UK. The description seemed to be applied to a fairly basic boxlock nonejector, I think always a 12 bore, with such a gun often being what a gamekeeper would own. I swear, Larry, sometimes you are the master of making a pointless point outside the op's subject. But like the father said to the mom of the errant son, Mama, it's in 'im and it's got to come out." Smh... JR Larry made a perfectly valid point - when I saw the thread title I first thought it referred to low end gamekeepers' guns. Apostrophes, LGF. Apostrophes. Not a one in the op's title of his thread or the thread's text. Pesky grammar, always causing problems for those who ignore it. JR

JR Exactly. Grammar and punctuation are extremely important. Even more so when you are typing, where voice inflection is not possible to achieve. Amazing how even a (former) professor doesn’t realize this.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Let’s eat, Grandma vs Let’s eat Grandma. The Donner Party had probably never heard of the Oxford Comma, when they were exchanging notes by the campfire. To the topic at hand: I cannot imagine myself selling my single non-selective-triggered 12-gauge Browning B-SS while I can still shoot and afford to shoot, because it was my first double, acquired in my early fifties, because it's a brutally gorgeous thing, and because it was something I'd held in contemplation since I saw it in a Browning catalogue as a pre-teen. I hope to slowly, eventually shoot its starboard, Modified-choked barrel off-face at Trap. I've done damned well with it, sometimes, by my very casual standards. Dragging it out for an airing brings me joy. I also have a couple of centerfire handguns I'll never be able to sell-off (except by exporting them) due to my country's recent prohibition of non-ISSF handgun exchanges, but I've kept them because they're truly special. Joy of ownership, and all that. Both are mid-century Colts.

I have wanted one since I watched Dez Young use one on Hunting with Hank I recently passed on a brand new one a 20 gauge They wanted $3200.00 for one at my club's show But I passed Maybe some day And handguns? I have a 29-2 Model 29 that I bought when they first came out That's a keeper Enjoy that BSS
