Some reason I'm getting the impression that this is a rehearsed play you and Destry are putting on for the rest of us.

Joe, You are not correct in that assumption. I started out looking for recommendations for someone to restore. Nothing has changed. I am late to the game as far as SxS shotguns are concerned when compared to the knowledge of many of you. For this reason I ask questions and enjoy the friendship and knowledge available on these sites. That said, I can comfortably state I hunt more than most, living in Arizona for over 50 years where we have liberal game seasons. Over the past 5 or 6 years I became very interested in vintage SxS and have had the pleasure to have met and hunted with several of the members on Forum. Destry being one of them. No game playing here. I enjoy this forum and do not want to get caught up in any of the banter that results in some ugly comments. We can close this subject. If there are any members who still have recommendations on someone to restore please PM me. I appreciate all of the recommendations and the debate on whether to restore or not.
Thanks Phil

Nice looking gun. Looks like a medium grade, all original, with lots of honest vintage finish.

I bet it would look a lot nicer after a full, tear-down strip and clean.

I think the engraved swan is a kind of field guide to what you're supposed to shoot with it.

Thanks for sharing. Some of us appreciate it.

My second Scott has the same Swan on the left lock plate just like yours. My first one has a goose on the right lock plate.

I would post some pics but I am really computer challenged.

Send me a PM and I will send you some pics.

Joe,

Phil and I are friends and I was just commenting on his gun since I've actually seen it. I'm sure that's hard for you to understand as my guess is you don't have too many, friends that is......

BTW: check out these pics. This looks like it's almost the same grade, but in a 12g.

That is the same gun as my two. How old is yours?

OWD: You shouldda bought the DOUGALL punt gun. Any thing internally wrong can be fixed (externally it looked fine)
At $2,500 you had a lot of room for fixing.

BTW I just picked up the E.M. Reilly 4-bore that you put me on to from Jim Kelly. It wasn't cheap to restore but it was worth it. It is STUNNING! THANKS! I'm going to try to post some pictures.

Best Regards, George

K & J-

I think that one is from around 1883 or so. It's pretty much new and it has it's original hang tag and retailer's case with label.

Very cool.

George - yeah, I guess I should have bought it. Oh well.
