ITEM # 63
serial #201490, 20 ga., 30" barrels choked modified and full with bright excellent bores. Barrels retain about 99% top quality restored blue finish. The frame shows nice quality C-grade engraving with game birds left and right and a pointer on the frame's belly, it retains 98% likely restored, casecolors. The trigger guard features light scroll as well as a blank riband for initials to be engraved. The original splinter forend with ebony tip inlay rates excellent with perhaps a minor ding or two. The buttstock appears to be a top-quality replacement in the original fashion and is extremely well done, at first glance one nearly mistakes it for original equipment; it rates excellent. The bottom of the barrel flat and the frame flat both feature the rare factory marking "second". Currently the ejectors do not trip, they may have been purposefully dis-abled. Length of pull to the grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14 3/8" with drops of 1 1/2" and 2 3/8". Lockup is tight with the top lever still right of center. Manufactured 1913.
