28 gauge Piotti Monaco
Piotti Monaco 28 gauge: 28” bbls, IC/M Chokes, LOP 14 ½, Weight 5lbs 11oz. Check out the engraving. Pretty amazing.
PARKER VHE 20GA: STRAIGHT STOCK, SPLINTER FOREND, EJECTORS, SPLINTER FOREND, DOUBLE IVORY BEADS, 28″, FULL/FULL, 14 1/4 LOP. Real hard to find with a straight stock.
20 gauge Parker VH, straight grip
Thomas Bland Boxlock 12 gauge: 30” bbls, 14 ½” LOP, 6lbs, 110z. This is a just good, solid boxlock. If it’s in all original condition and the bbls are decent, it’s very fairly priced ($2995).
