[zastros]

Double barrelled 10 gauge marked "Spencer Arms" 1870's left to me by one of my uncles. (POS with blown out damascus barrels) My mother gave the Parker 12 gauge to my cousin because his dad had lost all of his family guns.

"I didn't know it was important to you son." :banghead:

My eldest brother got the 'Old Doctors' percussion rifle which he brought with him from England in the 1850's. He got to keep it during the civil war, even though he was a southern sympathizer, because he was the only doctor [NE MO] in a 50 mile radius.
