Description:

Manufactured in 1926. This shotgun features dual brass front and mid bead sights on the concave solid matte rib, choked full/improved modified and 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors. The Ideal Grade was the most economical hand engraved shotgun and has oak leaf designs on the side plates. Mounted on a multi-point checkered walnut forearm with ebony tip and a high comb pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and Jostam orange vented recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 1/8 inches.

Rating Definition:

Good overall. The barrels and trigger guard retain 50% of the blue finish with scattered scratches and dings. The action retains 60% of the case colors faded to a smooth grey patina. The revarnished stock is fair with chipped grip cap, scattered scratches and dings and a loose and undersized recoil pad. The checkering has dulled. Mechanically fine.
