Default Sterlingworth Pin Gun

Picked up this Sterlingworth Co. pin gun, thinking it was a VH Parker at first glance.It has 28" 4 wt. barrels choked IC/M on my little choke guage. It has a very shootable 14 1/2 LOP with 2 3/4" drop---not bad dimensions for a 100+ year old gun. Ser.# 53,042 with the Philly adress on the barrels. At first I wondered why I bought it, but this gun was definately made for the uplands.
All comments + or - appreciated--thats how we learn.
Havn't got to weigh it, but I would say about 7 lbs even. Thats a little 16 A Grade Fox beside it in the last picture.
