Drew,
By the engraving and checkering pattern I believe this gun to be a Model 5580. There is a higher grade that looks similar, but neither has the same cut out in the back of the frame for the stock.
The catalog lists the chokes as left full and right cylinder, so the gun was opened in the right barrel before it left the factory. Apparently they bored both to full, marked the barrels, then opened it up to cylinder and marked the choke a second time.
Thanks again for your help.
p.s. Can I get someone who speaks French to translate all of it since I only translated the choke borings. Thanks.
