This is a great looking double - someone should give it a new home.

Beautiful gun, Dutch. What year was it made?

That would even work for a left-handed shooter.

Mike’s stuff is top notch and only worked on by the best. This is a way better deal than other options twice the price. Manton was top drawer.
