You people have some beautiful guns over there and it is a good thing to! Because public gun ownership on your side of the Atlantic will I feel last far longer than the government here in the UK intend, unfortunately the political writing is on the wall for ending public gun ownership which I am sure it will happen here within the next thirty years. I am glad in a way that I will not live to see it all end, my hope is the best specimens of the British gunmakers art will be exported to other countries and not collected in some thoughtless destructive Government cull.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

Smith Deluxe; a bit gaudy, but not bad for a hen house farm implement

Is that a gold acorn? How about some more pics of the DM Lefever?

Canvasback, nah, don't go on a walkabout just for that. For now I'd say Mr. Hallquit's post wins the prize.
Kind Regards,

From the load data I would guess that the sporting weapon was destined to a client in German during a time of reciprocity?
Kind Regards,

rse Forgot to respond to this, Raimey. The gun came out of a large estate in Canada. The three guns I have seen from that collection (an English, an American and this Ideal) are all very high quality guns. The other two besides mine, quite stunning! No idea how long this Ideal was in that collection or the journey it took starting in 1920 to ultimately arrive in my safe. The previous owner bought it from the estate and sold it to me within a year.
