For history sake and for future of the gun with whomever buys it, someone here should call Jim Kelly. And it would be nice if one of the S.C. members could go over the Charlton and take a closer look at the gun. I'm sure the auction house will respond quickly to whatever request is made of them. It's just that I didn't think of going directly to them until last week.

And it is an unusual gun. I date it now to 1869 - firmly - now 152 years old. Originally a pin-fire and probably originally an 8 bore with good engraving (SKB turned out to be dead on and I really think its closest contemporaries are the two Reilly 8 bores I pictured above). Shame it's been reamed out this way.
