PHILA PA" on the right and left respectively, choke constrictions of .002/.014 inches, and chambers measured 2 1/2 inches with automatic single ejector. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which displays attractive Grade A pattern scroll engraving and features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is mounted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with a hard rubber grip cap and buttplate. Included is a reproduction hang tag and a letter from J. T. Callahan confirming the current grade, gauge, barrel length, chokes, stock, and trigger (stock slightly changed with age) when it was shipped on July 15, 1915 to a Alvin Eybel.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 90% plus original blue with the loss on the triggerguard, 20% original case colors in the protected areas, some light handling evidence. The wood is very good with minor dings and scratches and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
