Description:

Manufactured in 1892, this shotgun features a Damascus barrel absent of any markings, with a single brass bead sight, 2 3/4 inch chamber and choked improved cylinder. The left side of the receiver has the "WRACo" monogram with the serial number on the underside and the four line address/patent dates marking is stamped on the lower tang. The barrel is brown Damascus, the magazine tube is blue and the remaining metal surfaces are casehardened. Mounted with an extra fancy diamond checkered walnut forearm and multi-point checkered round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered steel buttplate. The accompanying factory letter verifies the gauge, "Fine Damascus barrel", 30 inch barrel, fancy checkered stock, that it was received in the warehouse on April 26, 1898 and shipped out on the same day. Length of pull is 13 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored with 98% brown finish remaining on the barrel, showing some mild muzzle wear, a minor ding and 99% of the Damascus pattern. 99% of the blue and casehardened finish remain. There is some minor pitting, dents and grind marks visible under the finish on the receiver. There is a minor scuff on the stock, and overall only light handling marks and sharp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
