He said make an offer and I knew they were not cheap but had no ideal.  He said a couple of table over there is one just like it.  Went and looked and price was $4250.  No way can I afford $4000 for a gun, probably never put a shell in it and then which kid of five gets it.  But somehow, no way, no matter what, could I not get that shotgun back in the family and leave it in the hands of a stranger.  Some how, some way.  Engraving the wives name on it sounds easy enough to work. yes/no?So whatever you get, trust it, love it, keep it, respect it, cherries the memories.  They will be many. It is just like the wife one gets.  Life time, so all you can do is make it right the first time and not leave it in the hands of a stranger one day. db</blockquote>
