Some 37 years ago my father bought me my first shotgun at age 14. It was a Browning BPS 20g with an engraved receiver. When I graduated from college and started doing more hunting, I wanted a 12g but didn't have much money. I ended up putting the 20g gun for sale on consignment at a sporting goods store and took the money from selling it to buy another BPS but in 12g. That 12g BPS is still my primary upland gun. I always regretted selling the 20g, however. It had a lot of memories tied to it - first ducks, first pheasants, first grouse. Today it still would be a great grouse gun, and is something my kids could shoot. They stopped making the engraved models some time ago. I have been watching gun auction sites for a couple of years hoping to find an engraved 20g BPS. Low and behold one popped up on a collector's site last week. It's still new in box. It is now paid for and being shipped to me! I'm thrilled!
