I first want to say I've lurked around on this site for last couple years admiring these old guns and I'd been looking to buy one and I finally found one locally. It will not win any beauty pageants, but it all matching and the bores are pretty dang good. It appears to have its original wood front and back and original doghead butt plate that is pretty worn. The action is a little loose and it is missing it extractor(silly me didn't even notice it was missing till I got it home)
, but hopefully those problems can be fixed. The metal has that brown patina and no pitting. It is a 10ga with 30" twist barrels on a number 3 frame with a top lever. The serial# put it in the 1884 range. I probably gave a little to much for it, but I wanted it. I'll try to post a few pictures tonight or tomorrow.
