As Bobby mentioned, we still need a picture of the floorplate. That picture will tell us about the originality of the finish. So far, the gun does not look to be refinished.

Just picked up a dandy 20ga 21 straight grip, splinter forearm, single trigger. ejectors, 26" barrels, IC,M 6lbs 3oz. Very good original condition. Handles like a dream, one of my dream guns. My father always talked of 21s but never owned one. Wish he was here to play with it.

My dad was 62 when he bought his first 21s. He became a 21 guy immediately.

Pop always told me he could have afforded one thru the 40s and 50s but was too cheap to buy one by his own admission

We had a model 21 Grand American grade in the shop for a going over cleaning and test firing . When they got done with the cleaning etc I volunteered to test fire in the snail . I figured it would be the only time I had a chance to shoot one of that grade

Looks like an old refinish on the bluing. Stock has been refinished & forend has a crack in the bottom going towards receiver.

Apologies in advance if I'm speaking out of school.
I spent some time on the phone yesterday with Eddy and the seller of this Trap/Skeet 16.
For the life of me, I do not understand anyone who won't put a patch through a barrel when trying to sell a gun.



Condition kinda went downhill from there.
IMHO, Run Eddy Run!!

The very first pic's I had, it didn't look bad. Now I'm running. Thanks Bob, Ed

As a buyer you're in the drivers seat. If the seller won't answer or respond to your concerns, move on, it's probably got issues they're trying to hid.
