Not wanting to hijack Old Geezer's thread, i'll start my own.
In my case, a trio of dogs caught my attention recently, and they have been adopted, and rehab is in the planning stages.
there is some work to do, a very little bend to the stock, a refinish to the barrels, the bores are shinny bright ( wall thickness inspite of at least two clean ups is pretty consistantly mid 30 thousands). the foreend wood is a bit rough (I will be looking for a suitable replacement) the wrist checkering is in very good shape, two stock dings to fill. She locks up tight with no play. The engraving is good, no pitting a few nicks.
the dogs were not well treated in their first 25 years from the letter.

She came out of the restock and choke work a little lighter than the original spec,from a duck gun to an upland piece?
