Yes it did. I took a ride up to look at it and bought it. It is a true trap gun with about 90%+ original case colors. The only wear on the gun was where the hand meets the trigger guard (light) and the end of the top lever. The frame colors are all there as well as on the forend latch. And it just happened to have my exact trap stock dimensions. It's not my gun, but Mark keeps it at my house (he knows I like to look at it) and I can shoot it anytime I want. I'm going to shoot it more. I always have Mark with me when I shoot trap three times a week so he'll have to use my Shelly Gitman, John Davis SC when I'm shooting his DHE. I'm going to put a clear coat on the case colors to eliminate wear. We don’t want to put any wear on the case colors.
