It took decades, but I finally managed to get a set of George Daw hammer shotguns in 12, 16 and 20 gauges…

Well done, very nice.
Acquiring sets of particular guns can take decades and endless hours of searching gun sites and auctions.
I appreciate your perseverance!
Best regards,
JBP

Wow!

Are you saving the bottom pair of hooks for a Daw 28 bore (or .410 assuming he ever made one)?

I only have a date on the 12 gauge. Steven Dodd Hughes did an article on it for “Shooting Sportsman” and found the original person it was shipped to and that was in 1866!

Last night after supper, three of my grandsons were lingering at the table so I reached for my iPad and said, “Come here. I want to show you something.” They gathered around as I opened the close up picture of your set. They were saying “Wow” as they leaned in to see better. I told them of your decades long effort to build the set and the youngest said, “I WANT one.” Then the oldest, “I want one!” And finally the third, “I want one,too.”

So while I thank you for “fueling the fire” in my freshly smitten hammer gun loving grandsons, I feel I need to warn you that they already have designs on your guns. 😉
