I dabble in skeet shooting and usually use a J. Burrows (circa 1869-1875) hammered double with a Jones under level. The gun had the chambers lengthened 2 3/4" and was proofed for smokeless in 2000. Not really any stories, but some reactions:
Bemused as I rotate the under lever and cock the hammers on each stage
Appreciation and surprise at seeing such a old & beautiful Damascus barreled gun being used
Shock when they ask and find out how old it is and when they get a good look at the gun and the engraving.

I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
