Beautiful piece of the gunsmith's art. Are you willing to tell us what it set you back?
Know your audience. Don't try to sell a Prius at a Monster Truck Rally.

I am partial to my 1914 A.H. Fox Sterlingworth and I hunt birds with it yet. all the old doubles are works of art.

Re: for some of us, the Holy Grail of shotguns...
I wish!! The gun was bought by a friend of mine from a real antique dealer. Get this, it was totally restored by Pachmayr of Los Angeles a few years back. It's easily a 95% plus gun! I've handled the gun a few times and my friend does shoot it in vintage sporting clay events. It's just so damn beautiful, it deserved a post here.
I'll stick to my Brownings and SKB's...

Re: for some of us, the Holy Grail of shotguns...
If it is done professionally by an acclaimed person or company it can raise the value. In most cases though leaving it alone will keep its value better than even a professional restoration can boost.
If you have your local Joe Smo gunsmith do it, or do it yourself - value is lost the moment a tool, cleaning agent, or abrasive touches it.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515
