Anybody here know anything about a "Nooseneck Hill Club"?? I think it was a hunting/shooting club as I looked at a neat Fox with that name inlaid in gold with the bust of a dog & bird and "1903-2003" in gold too. I googled it and dont get much other than in sounds like it is/was in Rhode Island.

I had the gun built for the centennial of the NHC.I was a member at the time. Maitre Gournet did the engraving.

Can we see a picture of this gun? Don has built some neat guns commemorating various things and we would like to look at them. Unfortunately, my neighbor across the corn field from me had the commemorative inscriptions removed from a neat HE that Don once owned. I guess he thought it was in questionable taste. I thought it was quite conservative.

How could an HE named "Hogwell" be in poor taste?

As I said, "Quite conservative".

When last I saw it, it was stocked in some local juglans nigra from Berks County, PA....as one of my good Southern friends said when asked what he had done the night before having emptied a bourbon bottle, he replied, "I don't know but it was somewhere between real poor taste and a felony."

That sounds like something Roger Pinckney would write.
