serial #4050, 12 ga (measuring 3''), 28'' damascus barrels choked cylinder and improved modified with mostly bright about good bores showing light to perhaps moderate pitting their full-lengths. The undersides of the barrels show nitro-proofs for 1 1/4 oz. shot along with a later stamped ''75'', likely an indication of the chamber length. The barrels show fine swirling damascus patterns throughout with attractive contrasting mild plum-brown and gunmetal gray undertones. The barrel rib markings have faded somewhat showing ''C. G. BONEHILL MAKER BIRMINGHAM''. The action shows older restored case-hardened colors that remain vibrant in areas, mixing with a dark smoky gray patina and the triggerguard and top lever with restored polished blue. The attractive English scrollwork embellishments remain completely intact and mostly strong and the upper tang shows ''SAFE'' inlaid in gold. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in about very fine condition as lightly cleaned and refinished showing some scattered light dings and handling marks with a few areas darkened slightly from the years. The checkering with neatly mullered borders remains intact and strong, the drop points are well-defined and the cheeks are checkered as well. The wood exhibits some lovely grain figure throughout and the stock features an un-engraved silver monogram plate and grooved butt with toe and heel plates. Length-of-pull is 14 1/8'' with drops of 2'' and 3 1/8'' and shows moderate cast-off. Shotgun features double triggers, automatic safety and brass bead front sight. Lock-up is by dual under-bites and Greener crossbolt and barrels lock-up well though show some light at the breeches with top lever left-of-center. The action seems to function normally with strong in-time ejectors and weight is 6 1/2 lbs. (13B11621-98) {C&R} (700/900)
