Well the sun does shine on my side of the street. I just picked up my Uncle's collection, and I find I am the proud owner of a 1907 Prussian DH SxS. that has 2 set's of barrels, one 28" and the other 30". Don't know choke's as I don't have a gage. They are numbered to the receiver, so they all came together.
Sadly, it has been used, and repaired, but I guess that is whar they were made for. Now I have a couple of questions.
Given it current condition, I would like to make the correct decisions on how to proceed. I could just clean and oil it, and use as is. Or I could make some repair/replacement of damaged stock. Or if it were desirable enough have restoration work performed. I have read that that will lower the price, but would improve the looks and keep it functioning for years to come.
What does the old hands out there have to say. I want to; Ask twice, fix once.
Thanks everyone for your input.
