Another what have I got ?
 

A friend of mine inherited this from his father and is thinking of selling it. He asked me to see what I can find out. It also has another barrel with it that looks newer. I’ll attach more photos as needed

Here are pics of the second barrel

Grade 2 GH 12 gauge 30” Damascus barrels no mention of a second set of barrels . Second set I’d say are nowhere near factory .

The gun is a GH grade Damascus. The extra barrels are aftermarket.

The gold on the receiver is an addition and is not normal for the grade. I cannot tell if it is let inlays or just a wash or something.
The checkering has been butchered up pretty bad. Especially on the forend.

In the late 50s - 60s Atlas Arms in Chicago sent lots of Parker damascus barrels for replacement to ARMAF in Belgium. The Lefevers sent barrels to Italy, made by one of the Bernardellis of Brescia. Somebody also sent barrels to Armi Sarezzo.
The 2nd barrels carry the Italian date code XXI for 1965. There may be a maker's mark on the R flat.

I would say that the wood on the forend has been replaced based on the wood to metal fit and the checkering being wrong. It looks like there is a PSF and a partial crown on the new barrel flat

Wow thanks. so would the gun have been sent to italy to be fitted?

Atlas advertised finishing and fitting. Obviously Lefever could have done that also

Cracks in the stock as well. He was told it is worth 2500 to 5000?
Does that sound right. Seems high to me. based on what I’m learning on here.
