I agree. It's a gold inlay that has been scraped off for whatever reason.

To have all that case color worn off the receiver, that gun has been carried and shot a lot!! But, they were made to be shot a lot!! When one blows the picture up there is quite a bit of the Pheasant detail visible leading me to think it is just a very tarnished silver inlay.

The guns reciever almost looks like a merkel I have.I mean the finish didn't look like it hard case color at all any time.Might be just the engraving but it does have a different look to it.

FWIW, I posed the question where Walter Snyder might see it. Walter says the change from silver to gold inlays on the No. 5Es was 1929/30. He also stated he had never seen silver on one side and gold on the other. I thought I had, but I have no documentation so maybe I dreamed it.

When the OP cleans off the inlay area, we will know.

I did not but I did get side tracked for a short spell.I have to go back by the store next week and planned on stopping in again but I am not a overly excited about single barrel guns.I got my eye on a couple other guns as well as one in progress right now.So I think I might pass on it.Plus I wanted the clerk to sit on it awhile.
