Default 2012 Raffle Gun

The Raffle gun, shown on the home page, under the PGCA Store, is listed as SN 5096. The serialization book says 5096 is also a 30" 10ga, but that number is too early for a top lever. What is the SN of the raffle gun?

That makes more sense. it has a space after 5096, then the 3, for the frame size. Unfortunately, 50963 isn't in the serialization book. Whatever, it's still a very nice gun.

It is a wonderful gun! I would love to take that one out for spring turkey hunting.

I just read all about it on the back page of Parker Pages.
That write-up implies it's all original, and while I have no reason to doubt that, I'd also like to think it has been restored, only to prove that there was someone out there who really knows what they are supposed to look like.

There are known very high original condition hammer guns in the hands of collectors but there are also a few craftsmen who know how an original looks and are able to come extremely close to that level of finish.
