thanks -


ok as expected a D3 hammerless - not sure what the 0 (its a 1 frame) or C (choked?) represents & 12 bore with 28 inch damascus tubes


so the barrels are not cut (one fear down)- but they have been honed - severely I am afraid, need to go back with tools to look at that . locks up tight, decent stock to skeletal buttplate, good plus condition on the engraving, no color left. the foreend looks to have been rasped down to remove what might have been dog chewing -

hmmm - thinking thinking -
