The factory ribs are nice too. To verify factory one will see the proof mark offset to the left side near the choke roll mark because the factory rib sits where the mark normall is.
I attended college in Emporia, KS and Simmons wasn't too far away. I'd drive there and oogle the Brownings and new Model 12s. I lusted after a Superpose with a full set of matched barrels. In those days, the early 60s I think they cost $600 with case. WAY out of my range.
