What gauge?
What barrel length?
What barrel steel? e.g., Damascus Steel, Titanic Steel?
Serial number range (which would indicate year)?

Dean, thank you for you reply!
When I made the trip to look at the gun I was expecting a much lower grade with a cracked stock, not a B grade. If I had known what I was about to look at I would have brought all my tools to measure with.
I believe that it was a 12 gauge, it certainly wasn't a 10. The barrels appeared to be 30" but I can't be certain. They were damascus and were in excellent condition with almost full pattern showing. I did not write down the serial number like a dummy.
The metal work, other than the trigger guard, was in wonderful shape with a best guess of 40% color case remaining.
