Here's the Silent Auction GH
Serial number is 144217 and its configuration is exactly what is shown in the Serialization book.
Picture number 5 clearly illustrates the minor stock issue referenced previously.
Someone had taken a coping saw to the nose of the comb for whatever reason and cut into the wood about 1/2" or so. It can easily be filled and made invisible.
And in the next to last picture you can see a very old chip in both the toe of the stock and butt plate. Pretty insignificant for a shooter.
With the forend off there is a bit of wiggle but with the forend on it is quite tight.
