serial #195076, 20 ga., 26" barrels with bright excellent bores with cylinder and modified chokes. This lovely featherweight gun retains 98% original rust blue finish on the high-rib barrels, the frame and lockplates show 97-98% vivid case colors with the belly aging somewhat to a mottled gray case. Some very light specks of oxidation are present on the belly and the forend iron but are very unobtrusive. The checkered pistol grip walnut buttstock rates excellent and is slightly proud of the locks and showing only minor wear on its original finish. The splinter style forend is in matching condition with a spot or two of minor finish wear visible. Length of pull to the standard black grooved buttplate measures 14" with drops of 1 1/4" and 2 3/8". Lockup remains solid. A handsome American double in excellent overall condition.
