Hi David..!

The barrels look to most likely be an aftermarket set. There are no markings on them at all?
They could be a set of Vickers barrels, but they were usually marked as so on the top rib or the bottoms of the tubes in front of the chambers. Your gun would have originally been fitted with Twist Steel barrels. So, the aftermarket set could have been fitted to the gun back in the days when all composite barrels were "unsafe" to shoot. What is the clover in the stock? is it on the surface or is it an inlay? If inlaid, it most likely is covering up a bolt or screw through the head of the stock.

Looks like an Irish clover.

You might include a picture of the breech of the barrels to clear up the "extractors or ejectors" question. If the gun truly has automatic ejectors, they are retrofit. Nice looking gun, with interesting inlays.

I do believe they are "extractors" rather than ejectors but will post a pic later. I did check again and there are no markings of any kind on the barrel. As for the nice clovers, apparently someone painted them on the stock. Can't imagine why they felt it would be a good idea.

At least that makes them somewhat easy to get rid of.
