Good condition, including the wood and the bluing. 12 Gauge, with 30” full-choke barrel, shoots 2 3/4” shells. Serial Number 981184, appears to date to 1953. Seller tells us this was his father’s gun, and neither he or his father were hunters. It does not show much wear where the stock slides. A nice shotgun in very good condition, especially for age.
