Collapsible stock extended in this picture (newer AR-15s cannot have them under California law).

I have a better strap for this now. The one in the picture came from an old laptop bag or something (it is what the original owner used with it).

Gun Safe Date: 11/19/2009 My Dad traded our old car to a neighbor in exchange for some firearms. I wasn't interested in any of the guns, but I loved their safe; so my Dad got it for me as a gift.

Old Gun Cabinet Date: 11/19/2009 This was my old gun cabinet. I now use it as a doll cabinet since it no longer meets the requirements under California law.

Vincenzo Bernardelli Shotgun Date: 12/12/2008 12-Gauge Side-By-Side Double Barreled Shotgun
Holland V.B. Extra (still looking for confirmation)

Won at a competition, received as a gift.
Has an insanely thick rubber stock pad (as if the stock wasn't big enough).

Markings on the barrel include a swan or pelican with the letters "VBG" inside of an upside-down triangle. Next to that is "CAM 70" followed by the serial number and the number 12 (possibly the engraving pattern number). One barrel is marked "+++ KG1 370" with "KMO12" (including other numbers that relate to the width difference between the barrels).

Exquisite engraving on the barrels and action, forend, and barrel selector.
