I owned this gun in the past, and only managed to bag a turkey with it while it was mine. It is indeed in my shop and currently for sale.

The #1 gun of this set was at one point in New Zealand and it is a best quality sidelock ejector.

It is amazing that someone was that wealthy that they would buy a 17 gun set, all basically handmade guns.

Well, I guess that today, the people that can do that are the top professional athletics and the high tech and internet barons. Well, the athletics may buy guns though perhaps doubtful they would buy a set of 17 guns of this quality level. I doubt any of the tech or internet barons would buy a gun.

Steve told me that the Evans Paradox weighs 8lbs 2oz ….. got to be a pretty lively kicker with the intended 735 grain slug at 1550'/sec.
