Jeff what do you mean by saying slightly edit it

Acquired an early Utica Sterlingworth 16 Ga with Philly features at the September G&D auction. 28'' barrels, 2 3/4'' chamber, 6.1lbs, choked M/F. Gun is in almost unused condition. Sorry, I cannot get pics to load properly. When i tap on the pics they revert to perfect orientation. What am i doi...

Mine came yesterday.

Does anyone know when the new G&D Catalogs will be mailed? Thanks, Steve

Some great fly tying feathers there

I love the looks of a thin red pad. Nicely done

Beautiful Sterly, thanks for posting Craig. Here are some interesting facts on that price. $36 in 1926 had the same buying power as roughly $659 today. Meaning prices have increased around 18.3 times due to inflation over those 99 years. With the average dollar then buying much more than a dollar to...
