What is your best piece, and what is it worth?
Does not have a recoil that I thought it would...much softer.
Shoot it occasional but looks great in a shadowbox on the wall.
I have a Ruger Blackhawk .357 for my walks in the park
I have an 1884 Springfield 45-70 that my Dad bought in 1928 for 50 cents. I recently gave my brother a 20 gauge muzzle loading shotgun our Granddad passed to me. His father gave it to him on his 12th birthday in 1896. The only markings on the gun say "Hughes, London, England." So far I haven't been able to find any information about Hughes or the date it was made. I suspect Hughes was a private gun maker and they didn't have the codes and rules we have today.
Guns from grandad are the best!
