I agree both with Joe & OWD. Only go with the best restorers or don't restore at all. I, too, would love to see some pictures of your gun.

"I have now set a goal to be the first person in modern times to take a turkey with an 8 gauge in Arizona. "

How would you ever verify that? Better yet, I assure you plenty of game is taken every year in your state with an 8....just not everyone is announcing it.

GregSy, I think he must have meant..."I have now set a goal to be the first person in modern times to LEGALLY take a turkey with an 8 gauge in Az."

Best regards,

GregSY, thanks for helping to clarify this point. Since it is currently illegal to hunt with an 8 gauge in Arizona, being legal would be part of that goal.
Yes, I could have shot a turkey with my 8 gauge last year but I try to follow the game laws, even if I do not agree. The desire to hunt legally is what sent me in the direction to meet with the AZ Game and Fish Commission on October 9 2009.
George and Joe, I will post some pictures Thursday night when I get my camera back.
Thanks Phil

Phil,

I've seen the gun and I'd leave it alone. It's a dandy and fine just the way it sits.

I don't think there's a thing wrong with getting the barrels re-browned or the wood finish touched up as long as it's done proper.

Proper barrel browning and wood finish serves as much to protect the gun as it does to beautify.

Leave it alone!

Just kidding. I just prefer the vintage look.

Can we see it?

OWD

Phil.
I have a Scott in 12ga that is S/N 34599. It was made in 1884.

I don't know if the s/n range held true for all gauges but maybe they were.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Gordon

K&J It looks like our guns may have been on the floor together in 1884. I will post pictures later this week. Anyone else have a swan engraved on their gun?

Mine has aa swan engraved on one lock plate.
