Well that last picture sure is an "Oops"

Other than the brazed on forend lug I can't see that the gun has been messed with in any way. Guessing what it will cost to correct that problem... you probably did pay too much.

"birth" year is 1891

according to the book , that 12 bore P grade should be wearing 32 inch barrels.

Cool serial number though.

You gave the right amount for it you got it. From the looks of the picture the forarm fit is fine the braze job was a success I wouldn't worry about it. Whos going to pull the forend off of it when they look at it? best ch Oh great fishtail PH!

Great comments fella, thanks to all!

Two questions, what is the grading on this one?

and the second question is more of a comment, but how can you guys be saying I didn't pay too much when you have no idea what I paid ....ha ha.........

If you think you paid too much for it but you still like it, then you didn't pay too much!

At least the seller was honest enough to show you the bad parts up front!
What deal you made from that point should remain between you and him.

True, true... But I am constantly finding deals, scouping them up, enjoying them for a while, then trading, selling, battering, upgrading, ETC...

The seller was a great guy, and as a matter of fact this wasn't a cash deal, but rather a trade... I still believe I gave too much for it.....

oh yeah 1 more question. the but stock on my other 1 is completely different, is a bit older, but I was wondering is that an original or some kind of add on?
