George L. Sidelock Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 1,417 South Carolina	smooth 18: It could be the maker Roy described above, but more than likely it is what we describe as a JABC (Just Another Belgian Clunker) preying on the name of a well known English maker as the one shown in Drew's ad. Pictures would help. Best Regards, George To see my guns go to www.mylandco.com Select "SPORTING GUNS " My E-Mail palmettotreasure@aol.com
