Thank You, Mr. Porter. I just brought the gun home yesterday and spent a couple hours cleaning it. The barrel has (IMO) 95% original rust blue with a liberal coat of RIG on it now making it appear a bit glossy. The bore cleaned up beautifully.

Well, after cutting the grass and a 3 day visit to my In-Laws in Kentucky I finally had time to check under the butt plate as Bill Murphy instructed. Sure enough it is stamped TOUR. and has the initials WS carved below it!! Thank You, Bill, for schooling me on this.
I checked the bore, as well. bore- .732" choke- .695" with approximately 3/8" parallel bore @ muzzle
