I died and went to a place nicer than heaven....

The Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company show room.
I've never seen a collection of fine doubles like that anywhere in the world. There are hundreds of guns costing from $50,000 to $500,000 that you can see, touch, and enjoy. It's like a museum where you can handle the exhibits.
In any case I originally went there because I purchased one of their reproduction Sterlingworth buttplates and the holes didn't line up. Instead of replacing it with another reproduction like I expected they dug around and found an original plate that fit perfectly.
It's a bit beat up but so is my sterly! I couldn't be happier.
If you're ever in the area, check it out but give yourself plenty of time because there's too much to take in in an hour.
