I agree. Curious if others have a 28 repro marked that way?

We're drifting way off the thread topic here, but yes, there are others that have the I & F stamped on the barrel lugs. Here's a link that'll take you to a couple of previous discussions regarding them:

The seller describes this gun as having "best exhibition wood" -- that's open for debate, but it does have a very nice, well-figured dark piece of Claro. I'm noticing the prices creeping up on high-condition Repros, this twenty has an ask of over $7K, there's also a 28ga. 2-bbl. set for sale at $9500...get 'em while you can!

Greg, why is that not exhibition grade wood, just curious your thinking? It has incredible figure and is consistent on both sides. I'd call that exhibition quality, but I'm no expert. I'd sure like to learn more.
