Thank you gentlemen for your help and consideration! The gun was purchased by my great grandfather and given to my grandfather. It is a very important family heirloom to me, as I never knew my grandfather. He passed away of a heart attack long before I was born. My great grandfather was an avid firearms collector and handed his entire collection to my grandfather. That collection is now spread among the family, however this particular shotgun was sorta lost in a travel trunk for some number of years (from 1963 until 1985). My grandmother kept it there with some of his other personal things, so it was honestly neglected. It was his favorite gun which is why she kept it. Ive had the shotgun for quite a while now (since 1995) and I keep it wrapped in a silk bag placed within a generic case. Im only just now in a position to begin restoring the gun, Ive known all along that doing so would cost a pretty penny. I would like for this gun to be as nice as his others in my collection, but it is rough. I know that it is entirely possible that this gun may never fire again, which is ok. Its more of a memorial to my grandfather than a firearm that would see any use.
Thank you very much for taking the time to look at the pics and for your advice. Im sincerely greatful for your help.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Chris Hernandez
