It's plenty big. I am surprised that gun has not sold.

No kidding.
35Kusd doesn't seem high for that complete cased two barrel set with tools.
Looks very nice.

I don't like the Merkle-type styling of the breech. A nice smooth English rounded breech would have been much better.
: Due to the massiveness of the German styling on such a short barrel, I find it non-attractive.

Daryl-

I share your preference for the smooth and rounded features of the brit actions.
It is a pretty spectacular piece though.
This is another 'damn cool item' that I wouldn't kick out of my library.

The only thing I see wrong with it is that it needs another barrel beside it!

It only needs to be top of one list.
