Very nice! If you've not shot it 60 years, and it's just been sitting unused, the first order of business is to get it a good cleaning. That might correct those issues.

Again, a very nice gun.

One significant issue that I see is that the barrel will close but will not lock. The top lever stays extended and forearm latch lever will not close completely. I don't remember this being a problem the last time I fired it - 60 years ago. I may be overlooking something simple or it may need a gunsmith's attention.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks,
Brad

Nice! Pretty rare to see a V grade in that condition, and especially with that much case coloring iintact.

Congratulations. Very nice! And all the better to have been a grandfathers. I'd say quite rare to come across a VH in that condition. You definitely should send off to our esteemed researcher for a letter. Then you need a good cleaning , some shells and a box of clays!
