serial #7576F74, 28 ga (2 3/4''), 26'' ventilated rib barrels choked skeet in both with bright excellent bores. The metal surfaces of this lovely 1974-made Superlight Skeet retain about 98% original blue showing just a hint of high edge silvering along the rib and perhaps one or two minor handling marks hardly worth the mention. The action is embellished in full coverage with lovely crisp relief foliate scrollwork and motifs, some small areas of light crosshatching, bordering and fine matting atop the action. The pins and trigger are gold-plated and the action features the characteristic gold line border inlaid scenes with gold game birds left, right and bottom. The work appears to be unsigned and the gun is fitted with fine upgraded stocks featuring straight grip deluxe walnut buttstock and schnabel forend with true side panels, the checkering with lovely hashmark bordering throughout. The stocks rate excellent showing just a few sparsely scattered tiny handling marks and some very thin gaps along the lower tang inletting. The wood exhibits fine grain figure and the checkering remains mostly strong throughout. The butt has a small panel insert with a pair of screws and is skip-line-checkered providing a 14 1/4'' length-of-pull with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/4'', the stock with very slight cast-on. Weight is 6 lbs. 10 oz. and the barrels lock-up solid with top lever a touch right-of-center. The gun features single selective inertial trigger, non-automatic safety, and is sighted with medium white mid-bead and large white front bead. The action seems to function well mechanically with robust ejectors. The gun includes an original tan Browning luggage case in very fine condition showing some light scuffs and areas of minor flaking along the exterior. An excellent and wonderful Midas grade in 28 gauge. (13E11778-29) {MODERN} (10,000/15,000)
