The serial number starts with 188318 (the last three numbers may not be correct) I'm going from memory. It is in the book and correct for barrel, grade, gauge and stock.
The gentleman that has it is kind of wanting a healthy original condition price but I have a thing for 16 gauge shotguns. If it was an O frame it would be in my safe if he would budge a little on price. If the metal has been redone (well redone if it is) then maybe the price is out of line or maybe not. Either way it is enough I feel caution is called for.
