OP BrentD, Prof Sidelock Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 6,718 Likes: 416 Iowa	We were discussing Cashmores a little while back on another thread. AS a result, eeb sent me some photos that I will post here. He has a beautiful gun, the likes of which I've never seen. I particularly love the grip shape and checkering and the very low, light hammers that are similar to the hammers on my very plain Cashmo hammer gun. eeb's gun, however, is about as elegant as a hammer gun can be in my opinion. It's perfect. _________ BrentD, (Professor - just for Stan)

Yes, the wood is original but it needed work and a refinish. The stock had been cut, and repaired, in several places to adjust for pitch and LOP over the years. The butt had also been hollowed out to push the balance way forward. It is balanced now at the hinge pin and weighs 8 lbs 2oz. It sported a nasty recoil pad. The gun is dated roughly 1894. The barrels are 30” with flat filed rib and are Whitworth steel. I’m positive it’s a WR action with hidden third fastener. Chokes are M/F and bores mic at .732”. They were proofed at .729”, so the barrels had not been monkeyed with. Chambers are 3”, as engraved on the reinforced forend loop. I sent the gun to Kirt Kimsey in Georgia and he did a fantastic job of repair and refinish. His checkering work is of a high level. The face on the right hammer was so caved in from use that it would sometimes would not drive the firing pin sufficient to strike the primer. The hammers were sent off to be rewelded at their face good as new. It’s a great shooter on the clays course and dive field. Its a delight to own. Last edited by eeb; 04/09/24 08:38 PM.

About as highly finished as a gun can be. Last edited by Daryl Hallquist; 04/10/24 09:53 AM. http://www.bakercollectors.com/
