Beretta06 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 For our wedding anniversary, my wife brought me a lovely walnut gun safe, with a lovely glass front, lighting etc. BUT, she decided the cabinet should contain something 'pretty and classic. So, she brought me this today!! Ellis & Co, 30inch barrels, choked 1/2 and full. Lovely Damascus barrels and very tight. Manufactured in 1885.

kent Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I showed the wife this post and she gave me one of those smiles....... the "you should be so lucky" smile........ but she is going to compromise and let me have a gun dog instead :good: But remember that is a bigger ask even though it don't cost so much, it cant just sit there and look like some nice furniture (not that I am not envious of the gun and display case mind you). I bet there was even negotiations in the Royal house when William and Kate spoke about getting their dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Beeyootiful! I'd like to point out that pretty guns make EXCELLENT presents for women who shoot. Also, lots of ladies like shiny things as gifts. I like those cartridges with the shiny metal tops ;-) Congrats on the new gun. Will you shoot it or is it a display piece?

It is for shooting I have already had a session on clays with it, but will use it mostly on small driven game days. We also have a couple of Hammer Days during the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
