Send close up photos of the standing breech.

Always appreciate seeing nice guns. There is a nice one posted under the heading GH 16ga Pristine for comparison.

Thanks for the fast response on "Has it been fired?"
Attached is a couple of photos I took today. Thanks for your help.

Gene,My vote is that the gun has been fired...but not much. The reason I say that is that there is a very faint ring on the standing breach and also that the firing pin holes have started to show a little chamfering. The chamfering happens after a only a few(maybe a box or less) shells have been fired in the gun. How about some more pictures of that great gun?
