New Enthusiast in Colorado
Hello All and Happy New Year!
I am a new guy with the same old story . . . I have my grandfather's hammerless double with 28" Damascus barrels. Final production date is October 8, 1889. Serial Number is 87761. Other than than that "for certain" information, I am still trying to learn about the rest of the numbers and their meaning. I'm not even clear about the grade and can't seem to match engraving pictures to what I am looking at, though I am certain it must be a low grade gun. From a collector's standpoint, this gun must be a real mess and I would like to learn how to make it a little more presentable.
I recently took up sporting clays after not shooting at a "pigeon" for over 50 years. I'm using a Mossberg HDW for now and actually hitting some birds. In any case, I'm happy to be here and am amazed at the amount of information available in the threads/posts. Thanks for that!
