All three have beautiful highly figured and double line bordered multi-point checkered forends with matching engraved bright fittings including the push button release and pistol grip stocks with teardrop carved drop points, ebony grip caps, gold inscription ovals marked “S.R.M.”, and engraved bright heel and toeplates around the checkered bare butt. Included is an extra 28 inch .410 barrel set with a gold inlaid “1” at the base of the rib. Also included is a fine oak & leather takedown case that houses the entire set along with three oilers, two cleaning rods, and a pair of .410 Bore snap caps.
Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed at 14.0mm (.551 inches) and measured .552/.553 inches; choke constriction .025/.027 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 16 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 6 lbs. 1 oz.
CONDITION: Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, some discoloration along the sides of the receiver in the recessed areas, and some scratches below the forend. The wood is also excellent with only a few very minor marks and sharp checkering. The case is very fine with some lightening of the leather on the top of the lid beneath the canvas cover. Extra barrel set is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
