[John Farrell, Charter Member #33]

Attached a couple of photos of a recent acquisition. The gun was originally purchased in 1930, the stock was broken shortly after. The gun has been under beds, in closets and under couches for 82 years with the broken stock. The case colors are 100%, blue 100%, mechanicals 100%. Screws indexed and untouched except for the top screw under the lever. It looks like a screwdriver was in the slot at least once.

The gun appears to be unfired. There is no evidence of gun solvent or oil at the head of or on the interior wood of the stock which would indicate cleaning after firing. The ejectors throw hulls 15 feet into a 2' circle. It goes off to the stock maker today.

More photos follow. JF
