Big and bold and a bit crude, but like it for the door it opens into another world. My surname being Hare, I sort of Had to buy this one, LOL. It has poxy barrels but a lovely stock. will endevour to take pictures. Mine was only around a hundred Pounds delivered. 29 1/2 inch tubes. It is hard to say who got the best deal with the Ferlach and O/U 20!! I think you both did well!! Here is a snippet re. the alterations to the A&D often used by German gunmakers.... https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=printthread&Board=1&main=28927&type=thread More anon! R.
