Thanks for the comments guys. It was in fact manufactured in 1919, has 28 inch barrels, and weighs in at 6lbs 8oz. Daryl, it's a "clay killer' for sure. I shot a 19 & 25 out of 30 at the Parker/LC Smith Challenge tryout. I felt pretty good about that seeing as how it was my first time ever shooting the gun. I didn't get this one from Chuck Brunner, I picked it up at an Auction in Virginia several months back. I'm really looking forward to the NE SxS, and I'm sure I'll have it with me if anybody wants a closer look.
One question I have is about the rarity of the #1 Frame on a 12 gauge? I don't feel like I see a lot of them, but I'd be curious to know if it really is rare, or just my perception of it.
Thanks again,
Mike
