Larry, I think I saw your great Midas on another forum, but I may be mistaken. My prewar Midas Trap is # 4868. What is your serial number? What other details can you tell us. Maybe you could show us the back end and the forend. If there ever was a classic over under, this is it.

Bill this is the first time I have posted any pictures of the Midas, so I know it wasn't mine that you were looking at. The serial number is in the 900s.

Do you have any provenance information on your gun? I will share my provenance if you are interested. The last owner of my Midas was W.W. Wilson in Maryand, whose nephew or such, is a member of one of my gun clubs. He recognized the Browning letter information as well as the gun when I showed it to him. There is information on the original owner also. Tell me what you know about your guy.

Added late this summer. Not needed but enjoyed as useful art.
