Great gun! Your family should be proud for keeping it in such fine condition

[George Lander]

You have a fine piece of your family's history in your hands in way above average condition. Please care for it, keep it in the family & pass it on to future generations. If the bores are in similar condition as the exterior it won't hurt to take it out to the clays or trap range from time to time with the proper RST loads.

Congratulations and Best Regards, George
