Great example! The case colors look perfect.
I have one of the same. They are definitely the best of the B’s. Mine does not have the condition as the posted gun, but it is not too far behind. |

I had a 12ga from that era; it also had a vent rib and twin sights, however mine had double triggers and a splinter forend. Probably should have kept it, but...too many guns, too little time.

Wow; great story Charlie. Years ago at the local antique mall there was a "pair" of B's - .410 and 20ga. They were the real early ones with the acid etched duck scene on the bottom of the receiver instead of the line drawing of the fox head that the later ones have. Man, I wanted those guns but I was broke as a dude ranch pony at the time. I even talked to the seller about how to get them but I just never could put anything together to make it happen. Funny how a couple of guns that are pretty low on most folks' totem pole can haunt you, but those still do.
