Richard a letter will clarify if the barrels were originally Damascuss and if the gun was ordered with a pinned stock. Why anyone would want a new gun with this done is beyond me unless it was considered to make the head stronger. Also the letter might give some information if it was indeed sent back and rebarreled with the fluid stell ones. The frame is marked as a G but the barrels are from a V. Lots of questions with no clear ansers.
Its a nice gun and if it were a 16 or better yet a 20 it would have come straight to Michigan! Love those straight stocked guns.
