Nickel Plated Lifter

[OH Osthaus]

it is my impression that the plating was often done on guns to be used around salt water.

what is the gauge and barrel length? heavy waterfowler?


looks interesting - when looking at the pictures, the side plate Parker engraving seems to have nickle inside the letters so not engraved after plating, but the pat. no stamping looks like bare steel, they would be finer lines to get into.

I assume plating after market, but it was by a craftsman who refitted the parts well and knew how to apply it properly

thanks for posting it
