Very cool find. A true benchmark gun to use to evaluate factory vs redone case colors.

Lucky dog on that one, very nice!!!!!

I can't see it in your pictures, but does it have the

PROOF TESTED--16 GAUGE
--2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER--

stamping on the left barrel as shown here on this gun with ten digits higher serial number --

Attachment 92039

That stamping begins appearing on some guns that letter to 1938 and is pretty universal on guns that letter 1939 and later.

And thats why we never stop looking.:bowdown:

Dave, I took a few extra photos for you.

Dave, has that gun ever been shot?

Yes it has. Very little though. I looks as though it has been hunted. The gun still retains more than 95% condition.

Yikes! What a sweet find.
