The wood was what I attracted me, along with the fact that I have another 10 gauge only a couple of hundred numbers below this one that is a Grade 3 and is almost a duplicate except for the barrel steel and grade.
I wasn't willing to go too hard for it since I do have an 1874 which is also almost a duplicate of it (no grade in 1874 but the dollar grade I have is the equivalent from that year). That gun also has wood that is very close in color and grain to the one you got.
They put some really attractive wood on those early upscale lifters.
