Default Redone AH

Picked up an AH 12 gauge the other day that was poorly redone....but it is an AH. It was an A.W. DuBray order gun as you can see in the letter. the action & DD damascus barrels are in in excellent shape. the restock , although nice looking wood...is obviously checkered wrong. it came with an extra set of barrels that they tried to pawn off as ACME but........
they are clearly VH barrels with the Vulcan ground out & rather poorly over stamped with ACME. You may have seen this gun in a Julias auction a while back. Seller claims it didn't sell. Julias won't confirm either way. It suprised me that the details got by Julias too. ( they listed it as an Acme second set )
Anyway... i now have it & someday will have it restocked to the proper specs that it should be. Meanwhile I think i'll get a set of Briley 20 gauge drop in tubes for the "ACME/VULCAN" barrels & have some fun with it!
