Description:

Manufactured circa 1931 in Belgium. Plain barrel with a single ivory bead on a rifle style front ramp, standard barrel markings and proofmarks, choked extra full. Original 2 9/16" chamber changed to 2 3/4 and so marked. Standard receiver engraving and markings, "suicide safety", and mounted with a checkered walnut forearm and round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered hard rubber dogs head buttplate. LOP is 14 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The shotgun retains 80% original thin blue finish giving way to smooth plum patina in areas. There is some overall scattered minor spotting. The wood is good with 98% freshened varnish and overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches, with very crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is excellent.
