Not to take anything away from Brad's early hammergun, but thought someone might enjoy seeing a picture of a hammerless Blanch not too much later in Ser. No. This one is #5738, and was sleeved several years ago after UPS managed to bend and rupture the original damascus barrels. Back in service with 30" tubes that weigh right at 3 lbs. even, as did the originals. Sleeving done by K. Merrington.
