It is choked m/f, 28" pipes and 2 3/4 only. Can't wait to put it to work. I haven't seen a two trigger bss previously but have been trying to research. If anyone knows where to look I'd appreciate it.

Doesn't look like a 7 pin Sidelock.
Does it say "Browning", "Made in Japan" or "Assembled in Korea" ??
Miroku, the plant where the BSS was produced made double trigger Browning clones.

Looks like Browning on the trigger plate to me.

Browning made a very limited run of BSS double trigger guns. I have seen some for sale in the past but quite rare.
