Pictures of what you have would be best. Tell us more about this shooting contest, and your ancestor.

Not sure on the details of the shooting contest, that is the story that was passed down from my father's cousin. I will not be able to post photos until Monday. Guy Byrkit, my great grandfather is who it belonged to originally, then he passed it to my grandfather who used it as his frequent hunting gun. It has been sitting in the safe for the last 40 years or so and only shot once in that period, although cleaned regularly.

Ok, I now have photos and the correct serial number. Serial #115730, DH 12g, frame size 2, 32" Titanic Steel barrels. It is untouched outside of the fact that my great grandfather was against a safety on any gun. As I was told there is no such thing as safe, it is either loaded and ready to fire or not (see picture as he removed it himself). As stated we believe he won it in a shooting contest, but don't have any more detail on the contest. He was a market hunter in Red Oak Iowa and put himself through dental school doing so. Would love any additional details that can be provided. Thanks for the help!
