Default A Little Help, What Is It???

Doing some research and trying to identify this early double. Side frame appears scalloped where it meets the stock, and Forend has a somewhat distinct checkering pattern... I believe image dates around 1901.

Help is appreciated.

Best, Chris ~ CSL

The image quality is quite poor... but it appears to be a Greener Facile Princeps to me.

It might hep if the whole image was available...

Thanks John,

When comparing the old image I provided earlier today to various "Greener Facile Princeps" models found online, I would say you have it correct.

Your identification assistance was very helpful.

Best, CSL
