Hello

[Jeff Elder]

Thanks for the info you have helped me make up my mind.
Believe it's a Grade O. VH is on the serial numbers. It was built in 1929 and is dang near a safe queen.

Yes OH I had the stock hot oil bent to fit me. I'm a lefty with a really bad canting problem.

Don't know how to load pictures on this forum or i would post some

I plan on joining then PGCA as soon as I get back to ranch and look up my paypal stuff

Thanks for the info

I intend to shoot dove and when the weather and blind is right gun some ducks with it. It's a 12 gauge 30'inch barrels

Thanks for the info

go to the home page- there is a link on the left to identify the Grade but V is a common grade, the H means hammerless - and 30" barrels are also common on 12's There should be a number stamped on the back barrel lug for the frame size- most likely its a 2 or maybe a 1 to 1 1/2 or more rarely a 3

a good solid gun for your use

Jeff if as you say it’s a safe queen it could be worth a considerable sum. Condition is one of the major trump cards when determining value. If you email me the pics I’ll post them for you. 1mf@fuse.net

Jeff I agree with Mikes earlier post, "if ain't broke don't fix it". My general thought has always been that if a gun has already been altered I have no issues in any modifications as I see fit. But if it's original and especially a true
closet queen as you described this one to be I would leave it as is. Let's see some pics please...
