Looks like a really nice gun to me. If it fits and hits targets, not sure what else there is to worry about.

Brian Dudley 03-08-2021 08:47 PM

Your suspicions are correct. The gun has been restocked, the frame has been recolored at some point, and been worn a lot since. And the top lever/forend latch and tip has been blued. These parts were NOT blued originally. The barrels look like they COULD be original finish.
It looks like a decent gun, but if you were hoping to buy an original gun, it isnt it.

Brian I was not intending to buy an original gun as in investment to sock away and I knew going in this was either refinished or restocked. I'm sure most people want to be sure they can get some or most of their money back out of them if they have to.

Can you show the serial number on the barrel lug ?

I agree with Brian and Reggie. Odd that they blued the lever and forearm parts. Also when I enlarge your last picture I see what appears to be sanding marks where perhaps the barrels were reblued but not sanded correctly.

Ok so now that the last picture is not the last I don’t see those marks in the newer images. Must have just been that last picture on the first page.
