The gun in question is just another common Birmingham box lock, shined up to look good from ten feet away. There is no way to tell how hard it was ridden for the many years before it was buffed up for sale. It was not worked on by someone who knows what he is doing, proven by the screws which are not indexed. The buttstock has been redone and the forend was left behind, can't imagine why. The erratic pricing from this dealer is well shown by the three thousand dollar refinished Fox Sterlingworth, a $600 gun at best. Better choices from this dealer would be the Holland and Holland Royal 28 gauge or the David McKay Brown over under, or maybe a fly fishing lesson from the lovely Michelle. I couldn't help myself.
