Thanks Brian. You are correct, the butt plate is just plain, without the dogs head or any markings at all.
Will the reblued barrels have any effect on the strength of the metal? To be honest, I am much more interested in being able to hunt with it versus having a perfect condition gun.
My grandfather used this gun to hunt ducks in the marshes just south of Boston. He told me he used it with nitro for a quite a while but eventually the Damascus rumors got to him. He would get nervous and turn his head and close his eyes every time he fired so he switched to his "newer" (mid-1940s) shotguns to keep hunting. He told me all this in the mid 2000s but I don't know when he stopped hunting, which is why I would like to get the barrels checked out.
