serial #FW172605, 12 ga (2 3/4''), 30'' armor steel barrels choked improved modified and full with bright near excellent bores showing a few sparsely scattered tiny dings. The barrels retain perhaps 75-80% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light with overall toning to a medium gray-brown patina and showing some scattered old surface oxidation. The action and lockplates retain about 80-85% nice original case-hardened colors that remain mostly vibrant showing a little mild brown speckling and most of the loss along the fences and bottom metal toning to a nice silvery case-hardened patina. The triggers, triggerguard and safety retain about 80% original bright blue flaking to gray-brown. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very good plus condition retaining most of their original varnish and showing a couple of minor hairline cracks forming behind the lockplates, a couple tiny flakes around the edges and scattered light dings. The hard rubber pistolgrip cap is intact, its screw a later replacement. Length-of-pull to the Sheaffer Bros retailer-marked Pachmayr ventilated red rubber pad is 14 3/8'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/4''. The gun is equipped with automatic safety, double triggers, extractors and medium brass bead front sight. Weight is 7 lbs. 6 oz. and the barrels lock-up solid on-face with top lever right-of-center and the action seems to function well mechanically. A solid big 12 L.C. (13B11778-11) {C&R} (800/1200)
