The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend as well as a pistol grip stock with factory grip cap and a checkered bare butt. The included factory letter lists the this gun as a Deluxe grade in 20 gauge with a checkered butt, regular comb, trap wood, deluxe finish, and chokes when inspection was started on March 13, 1946, and finished on April 4th of the same year. The letter also lists a repair date of December 22, 1949, to February 6, 1950, at which time the stock had been shortened and the chokes tested. Also included is a second matching numbered 26 inch 20 gauge barrel set with "WS-1"/"WS-2" chokes as well as a wood and leather takedown case. The extra barrel set is not mentioned in the letter. Barrel measurements for the extra set (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .617/.614 inches; choke constriction .002(jug)/.011 inches; minimum wall thickness .025/.022 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall as professionally refurbished, retaining 98% blue finish, some minor spotting at the breech, softened edges, minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the replacement stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel set is also very fine and the case is very good.
