It's a cool old gun made in 1883 just after the introduction of the TL. Min walls are .045 in both barrels and .085 at 9" from the breech. The bores have some pitting but very shootable in my opinion. Very few TL grade hammer guns were made with damascus (25 in all gauges) and 75 in Bernard. I believe Bernard was first offered in 1883?? Any how it needs a bolt replacement I believe and then it's good to go. Too bad someone along the line filled the rib flat but it's just part of the gun's history.
