Stock Shotgun?
I have this sitting in my safe, it was my father-in-laws and my wife inherited it. I checked the serial number, 98574, and it shows as manufactured in 1900. The grade is V and since it is hammerless I assume that would be VH. I do not know how to remove the barrels to check the water table markings. I have removed the forearm and the serial number matches. I assume the retention pin must be unscrewed but I do not want to mar the screw or scratch the finish. The one question I have is the buttstock, it is a left handed stock and matches the finish on the forearm.
Could this shotgun have been ordered with this stock?
Can anyone give me a range of value for this beauty?
Attached are some photos.
