Confederate shotgun

[Story]

Yes, but is that important? Or maybe why is that important?

Wouldn't you have liked to know when/how/where Ainsworth acquired it?

Congrats scooter748 driver.
It is a wonderful example of a Confederate used gun.
I've seen this shotgun and all concerned know it's "as right as rain".

Aren't you happy you bought the book first?

Oh absolutely! The $100 book let me save well over $1000 on this shotgun. Your advice repeated throughout this forum to "buy the book first" is directly responsible for this purchase. Had I not bought the book I would not have recognized this rare shotgun. Thank you!

And thank you for the comments on the shotgun. I couldn't be happier to own it!

Yes, that'd be good info to know.

Well then, as you established who had it between Ainsworth's hands and yours maybe the Ainsworth estate/widow would still have the notes he kept to write his book. Couldn't hurt to ask, ya know?

Ashworth. John Ashworth was an old school gentleman, always polite and patient when I was younger and asking lots of questions. If I recall, he also had a large collection of Confederate saddles.

Well, it's time to let this treasure go unfortunately. If you've seen my posting in the classifieds you'll understand the reluctant need to do so. Reach out for more info.

Nope nope nope. Thankfully the limited efforts to find a buyer didn't bear fruit! And my situation is such that I'm keeping this rare gun.
