Uncheckered Forend?
The forend on my 12ga hammer gun doesn't have any checkering, nor signs of worn checkering. Was this common?
It's a “PHE” Grade Field Model, #1 frame, SxS 12 ga with hammers, 30” Twist barrels, barrel wt. 45oz., w/extractors, single brass muzzle sight, 2-9/16”chambers and fishtail top lever, splintered forend. Manufactured in 1887, Serial # 52485, with all matching numbers.
