And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
No, I don't know anything about this gun. I know it's an E.J. Churchill by the scalloped edge of the action. Greener shotguns have a rib extension with a hole in it that the crossbolt engages for lock up. It confused me that you posted a link to wwgreener but the pic was not of a greener.
I have two stacks of The Double Gun and Single Shot Journal at home. I can spend hours drooling over the pictures of the engraving. If you love hand made and engraved guns it's worth the $40 subscription.
Al, I just posted the greener link to give some background on Mr Dryhurst, not to say that the shotgun in the photo was a greener. Sorry it was confusing. Thanks for the lead on a good subscription, but way beyond my budget for such things.
Yessir!
ReplyDeleteSweet!

The shotgun pictured is not a Greener, it's an E.J. Churchill from Mr Dryhurst's past endeavours.

Thanks Al for the additional info on Mr Dryhurst's shotgun. Do you know more about this particular shotgun?
