Parts gun oddities
Picked up a GH 1 1/2 fr. 12 ga.(87812) for parts the other day. While looking it over i found some interesting tidbits. In the book as a D2 but has Twist barrels with the correct #. I'm tempted to get a letter just to see if they are a second set or a misprint in the book. Trigger guard is not original but...has no serial number on the outside but does have one on the underside.(229146) not in the book. Barrels were blued & the solder gave way at muzzle end & they separated about 3 inches. I can't make out any Twist pattern anywhere even on the flats which are clearly marked T. The stock, which has major problems in the head area, seems to be from a later VH grade by the looks of checkering & butt plate., but the grip cap is period correct. The forend wood & iron are excellent & is why i bought it. I think someone went to a lot of trouble to put all this together. Keeps me fascinated.
