You guys are great!
Yes the condition was very good.
When I first got it home I thought the barrels had been blued, but after cleaning it up I think they are original based on the guns conditions. They are dark.
I did manage to take it out and shoot a round of skeet, the shotgun preformed well can’t say the same for the shooter.
I never heard the term Crolle Damascus but did look it up very interesting.
The choke as noted seems to be choke bored, which I assume means no choke.
I did not pattern it but seemed to smoke many targets so I will have to check it out.
Thanks again for the info !
