Hi joe
I was born (1957) & grew up in Somerset in the south west of England. I was driving farm machinery on a neighbors farm at a very early age, and remember when I used to drive the big combine harvester, the farmers would be walking ahead with a couple of guns, mostly Greener martini singles, waiting for rabbits, pheasants, partridge or the odd hare to flush . but I remember one gent had a real nice Goggie sxs...he let me shoot a couple of shots off into the stubble, I remember well the engraving & lovely wood, also the beautiful waxed blue & red cartridges, they seemed like jewels to me. I remember I stole one from him, I thought I might go to prison if caught..
I have loved them ever since
i moved to Ireland around 18, & used to shoot alot of rabbits with a mates sxs...I always thought they were beautiful guns.
Cheers
franc
