Gun is now a 12. Do you think the barrels have been changed. I purchased it at a fish and game auction about 3 years ago and sent it to my son in minnesota 2 years ago. I will have him take some pictures and post them. Thanks Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Does the serial # on the barrels and the forearm match the reciever? If they do it could have been part of a two barrel set, or sent back later to be rebarreled. I would be sending for a letter if the #'s match.

Thomas, is it a hammer gun or hammerless?

If there is an "E" on the water table it would be a hammerless gun.

My 1889-vintage hammerless quality 2 is also stamped E on the watertable, but it is a heavy 2-frame 12-gauge, and letters as such.
