Wow; that's quite a pistol grip! I assume that's a replacement stock? Photos are very poor; hard to tell much otherwise.

The wood is not original to the gun. The stock style is called an Etchen grip after the famous shooter Fred Etchen. His son was Rudy and his grandson is Joel Etchen. The serial number stated is too early for a SBT. I suspect the correct serial number is more like 204xxx which would make it 1923.

Looks like not a bad SC if originality is not a consideration. The price is below the normal for an original SC.

To each his own but all the years I shot trap and skeet I never cared for the Etchen style pistol grip .

If the gun were restocked in a more traditional PG fashion I wouldn't be that bothered although not at full 100% original price . But the Etchen PG would kill it for me unless I had another stock waiting on the gun before I purchased it .
