Someones angst seems to be directed towards my comments about having the barrels looked at. And in regards to the fact that the whole gun has been fully restored, and rather poorly. Well, I will say that was my way of a addressing YOUR statements that you did not know if the gun was a safe queen or restored. I answered your question that you did not know the answer to. And saying you should get the barrels looked at is because they are very obviously hot caustic salt blued. Which, allow me to educsted you on, is BAD for doubleguns because the temperatures needed for this process can and usually will soften and compromise the solder joints of the ribs. Resulting in loosened ribs, and rusting between the tubes inside the barrel set. Not to mention it also looks like crap.
I did not say anything about why you would buy a gun not even knowing what gauge it was. That is a good question though. And, the frame size should be stamped right on the bottom lug of the barrels. To answer another question of yours.
I am sorry that I, and others, have not told you what you WANTED to hear. If you like the gun, then fine. That is all that matters. There is a butt for every seat.
