Shotgun, esp. made by eponymous gunsmith:
(William Rochester Pape started his business in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1857. He won The Field Trials 1858, 1859, and 1866. In 1859 he organised the first dog show in Great Britain. The prizes were Pape shotguns. In 1875 he won a prize of ten guineas in a competition organised by the Field newspaper.
IN 1866 Pape patented a single bite snap action that had the first description of choke borings. He is widely recognised as the inventor of choke boring shotguns.)
"For a job like this, we should've brought a pair of Papes."
"I'm going to invite him for a little chat. Just him, me and Mr Pape."
