Thanks so much for the quick responses and the info!

Sorry I should have included this info in my first post! The serial number is 227448, it is a 12 guage, the barrels are 28" and was told the barrels are belgian nitro proofed. As near as I can tell the gun was made in 1927 or 1928. (two sources, two dates)

I live in Alberta, Canada nearest large city would be Calgary. If you know of a gunsmith anywhere in Alberta that would be fantastic. We are also not far from the Montana border. Not sure of the regs regarding cross border transport etc but I know it can be done with proper permits etc so that may be an option as well.

The picture I have of the barrels and rib do not show the rib very well. I will take some more today and post them. I will try again to remove the barrels following Bill's advice and if successful will have more pics to add.

There is a small rust spot on the butt plate and I am wondering if it is ok to rub it with a little oil? As you can tell I do not know alot about these or any other older shotguns and I would like to do things correctly.

I really appreciate the help!
