If you have pictures – especially of proof marks, etc. – feel free to email them: dr.hypercube-at-gmail.com. I’ll post them – although I’m not very knowledgeable, at least one person who stops by the blog is – and he has other connections…

Davide Pedersoli just came out with the Howdah. It is a double 20 Ga. Smooth bore. or 50 cal. rifled.
Or a 20/50 combo. $500 to $600 from Dixie Gun works. Get in line!!

It’s a maker I’d never heard of (but you probably have) – W. Thorn. Chambered in .577 – 2 3/4 BPE – it’s item #458 on this page: http://www.auction-net.co.uk/viewAuction.php?id=135&offset=200&PHPSESSID=02dc66f39ebefeae5e80cb12b
