Auction mistake, I think?
Recently purchased a 1899 DH 12 Gauge with 26in Damascus Barrels on auction. Condition wasn’t pristine which I was fine with as I planned on using it to pheasant hunt. Upon picking it up and referencing the Parker book the barrels have been cut. The book says it came from factory with 30 inch barrels. There also appears to be some pitting in the barrels as well. Do I cut my losses? Do I have options of fixing it? What’s a fair value of something like this now?
( I will upload some better pictures tomorrow )
