I knew George Reeb who had a fascinating business of restoring jet aircraft and putting them back into service like new. He collected the Reeb guns of his ancestors and had accumulated a magnificent collection as Reeb guns were known for being of the highest quality with ornamentation. I wonder what became of his collection? It is obviously possible this is a gun he owned at one time and was a part of his collection. He left us many years ago, a close friend to Bob Jones, my mentor., also long past.
*Don\'t be put off by the 3" of drop at heel as this gun has the classic hogs back stock (thus higher at the cheek) so when shooting it is very comfortable, even with so much drop.
This fine shotgun features a single select Miller trigger and note it is proofed for 2 3/4" shells. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5516 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
