Major, I talked with Jim via telephone a little while ago, he told me that the barrels had some pitting is why he backed off the gun he said one place measured 20 thousands, I guess the auction company had someone check the BWT, That is thin for a 10 gauge but I would question the reliability of the auction house to check BWT in house, most small auction houses do not have the equipment. If the barrels were compromised then that is another matter DD barrels are hard to find, the photo of the muzzle end of the barrels looked good as far as thickness to me, I am a sucker for these old guns, I would have bought it anyway, gary
