Is it just me, or do some of the rest of you have a soft spot for old non-shooters we all call wall hangers? My father in law, who unfortunately became my father in law post-mortem, (he passed away the summer before we were married) was an avid collector of wall hangers. Recently while in my wife's Mom's shop I mentioned to her that a particular old double barrel muzzleloading shotgun would look nice hanging on the wall at our place.
Lo and behold, my wife came home tonight and said, "Mom thought you might like to have this" and handed it to me. She also gave us the old shot flask that was with it and I think my wife is going to ask her if she could have the "hunter's horn" that hangs nearby. In case some of you are wondering what a hunter's horn is, it's a large horn that was used to call the dogs back at the end of a hunt.
I'm going to hang these items together on one of our living room walls as a nice display. We have a local art shop that deals mostly with wildlife and hunting/fishing prints, giclees' and paintings. We've purchased a lot of works from this man over the years so I'm sure he can help me find an appropriate print to hang up with them. It's a nice old gun...I just wish it could talk.
