Well, I don't have a digital camera operational at the moment, that can load pics to the computer, but I can give you the "short" list of just the shotguns -
Stoeger Uplander 20 gauge SXS - plain double trigger version.
Hunter Arms Fulton 12 gauge SXS - 28" barrels double trigger.
LC Smith Field Grade Featherweight 12 gauge SXS- 28" barrels M/F, single selective trigger, serial # puts it as being made around '31/'32.
Ithaca Lefever Nitro Special 12 gauge SXS- 28" barrels M/F double trugger
Ithaca Lefever Nitro Special 12 gauge SXS- originally choked M/F, someone had the barrels professionally cut down to 24 1/2" - would make one heck of a short range quail gun.
Browning B-SS 20 gauge SXS - 28" barrels M/F single selective trigger - found this one virtually brand new in a pawn shop in Bremerton WA for $300 in '92 - put less than a dozen shells thru it - as much as one of these is worth today, it's a definite "safe queen".
Browning A-5 Sweet Sixteen 16 gauge Belgian-made - 28" M vent rib barrel - my father's gun, bought brand new - it's not going ANYWHERE.
Browning A-5 Twenty 20 gauge Belgian-made - 28" M vent rib barrel.
Winchester Model 59 12 gauge Auto - 28" M Win-lite barrel (fiberglass wrapped barrel, floating chamber design) - only weighs six pounds - my dad talked about having one of these before I was old enough to remember, and regretted getting rid of it - found this one at a gun show in Bremerton back in '92, $300 used - and that was dad's Xmas present that year - old man was tickled pink.
Winchester Model 24 16 gauge SXS - 28" barrels M/F double trigger - my favorite out of them all - small slim and wicked light, a true built-to-scale 16 gauge - styled to where it looks like an English double rifle instead of a traditional SXS - might have been a cheap farmers gun back in the 40's, but for my money beats the crap out of most anything built today - that CZ Bobwhite is the closest I've found to it as far as a modern SXS that doesn't cost a kidney - 20 years ago you could pick one of these up for a couple Benjamins - nowadays one in decent shape is going for close to a grand, particularly the 16 and 20 gauge versions.
And that's the SHORT list that's worth mentioning.
