I'm with you 100%. This is a great collector shotgun and I'm completely jealous. I've been watching GB for a damascus shotgun for a couple months now and hope to pull the trigger soon. This one is a perfect find and would look great in my office dest rack

I'm over the "I shoot everything I own" pretense. In reality, I only shoot two guns regularly…a 1921 1892 25-20 for a pistol cartridge silhouette match and a modern 1894 Legacy 30-30 for the rifle cartridge match. Like the 1885 I just posted with the good case colors. Just looking at them and thinking about their history gives me a lot of enjoyment.
