The top breech end of the barrel is marked "12," and the left rear is marked "WP" in an oval. It has a single brass bead sight, 2 3/4 inch chamber and gauges at improved modified choke.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel and magazine tube have 40% blue with the balance a smooth brown patina. The receiver retains 50% of the vivid original case colors concentrated on the right side with much of the original casehardened pattern remaining and a smooth gray patina on the left side. Traces of original case colors remain on the lever, mostly in protected areas, with a smooth mottled gray patina on the balance. 90% of the bright original case colors remain on the breechblock and hammer. The wood is very fine with 75% original varnish remaining and some scattered minor pressure dents, dings and handling marks. There is a minor 2 inch crack on each side of the toe and some minor splintering along the edge of the butt. The markings are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
