I had one walk into the shop last week. It did not leave. A #3 frame 12 ga. 32" Damascus grade two top lever hammer gun. The barrels have 80% original finish, 20% color case, the wood is in great shape. I have not had a chance to clean it up yet. I will post pics after I do. It has great dimensions and swings wonderfully.

Its looking for a new home, too.

John, check your chamber length, I suspect they are 2 7/8 inches for 3 inch shells.

I'm waiting on a letter as we speak on what I believe to be a Grade 1 hammer 3 frame with 30 inch barrels which the book said was a 10 Ga. If interested I can post photo's. Thomas

thats really a nice gun..those barrels are really thick at thebreech end there thick enough to be a ten ga maybe a 8...it s amazing how well this gun looks after all them years..charlie

Charlie the Gun is original the case colors as you can see have survived well this gun must have been in a closet and not in a lot of light, I have always thought handling and sunlight do a job on case color, Gary

i think youre right about the handleing and sunlight being hard on a gun s colors for sure i know sunlight will eventually ruin a cars hupolostery and paint...but time has been kind to that gun of yours not many in that good of shape...charlie
