Charlie, it's a single barrel, described in the 1903 catalog as "The Davenport Goose Gun". I have an adapter in it and will shoot it as soon as I get a chance. The whole gun was covered in a light coat of rust, but I could see through that. What surprised me was the perfect bore, no doubt original. It's all cleaned up now, showing light colors and very nice twist pattern. At $20 in the catalog, it was two dollars more expensive than the "Elita" model which was available in 12, 16, and 20. The ten gauge "Davenport Goose Gun" was the same price as the "Elita". The eight was catalogued at 11 1/2 pounds. I'll put mine on the scale later today.
