Dave, valuable possessions changing hands and vanishing after the passing of a family patriarch is all too common. These things seem to go hand in hand as some of us have learned.

Call it a delusion perhaps, but I have a soft spot for the 2 1/2” 16 ga guns. There’s a humbleness about them, and yet when called upon, they can deliver the goods.

Have an A5 which needs some sprucing up, wondering if soda blasting might be a good prep for some cold blueing touchup.
