That one is flat out gorgeous and has obviously had a good life. Mine is an excellent gun. Twist bbls. I think I shoot it as well or better than any dbl gun I own. It seems absolutely effortless to break long clays with it and the quality is excellent, inside and out. Nice fit on everything. I'd highly recommend one to anyone. I think you can open it with the right hammer back also, which is nice. The firing pins are pretty long and blunt and will set just about any old rusty shell off the first time.

The one I was thinking of is still on GBroker with a BIN price of $3000. Has steel bbls and is in near new condition. Very nice but not near as pretty as Westons with those twist bbls.

The firing pins are very long and it does open with the right hammer back. I'm glad it does because the springs are so strong I'd much prefer to break it open before letting the hammers down on a live shell and risking a slip.

Ordinarily it'd probably be bad form to talk price but since you mentioned the other, the BIN on this was $650!

Here's another pic showing more of the barrel pattern. That style rib inscription is apparently a feature of the earlier guns.
