Fellow 16ga'ers, since this one doesn't have double triggers I'm going to pass, best of luck to whomever picks this up....HO-LEE-COW!!!

Stunning gun. If I didn't already own two, I'd be all over it. |

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the worlds finest guns."
Buying used guns, for that price I'd buy a pair of Purdeys (or Boss), a maintenance subscription with my local ex-pat British gunsmith and a lifetime supply of shells. |

Shipping is only $50, which is reasonable these days |

Indeed a problem with the number of triggers.
Otherwise I'd be all over this like a rash. |

I love that single trigger! Going through the pictures checked off most boxes even has a long tang. Then in the final picture realized that it was an Over Under just like the title of this thread said.
Think I threw up just a little bit in my mouth at that point. And I own two 16 ga. O\U's. But I own more SXS guns which everything else on that gun says it should be. |

Very remarkable to see Chester’s portrait engraved on the side plate. It still might not be enough to gain approval from HQ for a bid.
