Eight years ago, at a small auction in W. Palm Beach Fl., I picked up a C grade 2 frame serial number 90681 listed as Ti4 S 12ga 28”. Some idiot hack sawed both sets of Barrels to 14”. The gun left Meridan with a dogs head butt plate and 28” Titanic steel Barrels IM and IM and a second set of 30” F and F with matching forends. Got it for no money so Chris Dawe redid the wood and I had a set of Vulcan steel Barrels that went on the gun like they were made for it. That gun now resides I Kansas and the owner just loves it. Weighed 8 pounds and balanced beautifully. Very early grade 4 with Titanic steel Barrels leaving Meridan early 1899.
