I was pleased. All original to my eye except the pad, matches the serial book. 1926 28" "V" gun w/extractors, 2 1/2". Barrels mod x imp, MWT .030+ both sides, perfect inside.

Did the seller indicate that the pad was a replacement Keith? Ads for the Hawkins No. 25 first appeared in sporting magazine in 1925, but the pads may have been available prior to then.
Patent applications for the Hawkins Recoil Pad were filed Sept. 4, 1919 and Nov. 10, 1924. Patent No. 1,325,152 was granted to Frank D. Hawkins on Dec. 16, 1919, and Patent No. 1,538,990 on May 26, 1925; both for pads with the heart-shaped openings. Please let us know if it letters with the pad.

That is a nice one. You dont leave that one lie unless the price is way out of whack.

I think the pad was added, almost looks too good for the age. In the right light I can barely see a small area, maybe 3/8" to 1/2" all around the stock butt where it looks like the finish is slightly different, it matches but some pores "open" in the wood. Look closely at photos 7 and 9. I think this was done by some sanding to fit the pad. I'll send for a letter this week and we'll see. I'll post the letter.

Sorry, seller was a broker for the estate and new little about the gun's history except owner was a collector of fine shotguns.

Don't complain about a 40 mile drive. I've walked that far at a single gun show on a Sunday morning, trying to find the gun I should have bought on Saturday.

Can't go wrong with that little beauty!
If the pad has phillips-head screws it isn't original.... or even very old. .
