As best I could tell, the gun is all original. The wood is clear of and dents, cracks etc and shows no buildup of oil around the frame. screws are fine, barrels have been re-blued. no case colors remain on frame. barrels un cut at 28 inches. interior of barrels are clean, no pitting that I could discern. just need a good cleaning. Only thing I'd probably do is strip and refinish the stock and fore end. I'd have Brad B. re-case color a few years down the road when my oldest grandson is ready to start shooting and can handle stepping up from the 20 ga Trojan I have been holding for him that Brad lovingly restored for me awhile back. pics are of the 20 ga Trojan awaiting my grandson. But 16's rule or at least they did in William Harden Foster's day!
