Be sure those barrels have not been hot blued.

That is NOT the original stock by any stretch of the imagination.
Too much figure in the wood fot a 1910 Grade-0 gun and it has never had the silver initial shield in the toe line. .

Yes that I was pretty sure of. Thanks for the confirmation. A gentleman I know, very much in the know also indicated it was not original by the design of the head of the comb.

I ended up making a deal on the gun knowing it doesn't have much collector value but will make a good solid duck gun. Here is what I have now that it's home and cleaned up...

As long as the barrels were not hot blued, you'll have a solid duck gun there. For a shooter, all we need is solid and reliable.

If it fits you and you shoot it well, I’d say you made a good trade.

For $40, you can order a PGCA letter on your gun which may give you its original configuration and original person or firm that ordered your gun. It will probably be information from the order book entry. Stock book information is not available on your gun, but order book information is more interesting.
