serial #208715, 20 ga (2 1/2'') on 0 frame, 26'' Vulcan steel barrels choked improved modified and full with bright excellent bores. The barrels of this very attractive 1924-made shotgun retain about 92% original blue with most of the loss due to some light surface oxidation along the sides of the barrels nearer the breech, some more mild scattered freckling and light handling marks. The action retains about 75% lovely original vibrant case-hardened colors, the loss due to scattered areas of old oxidation staining with patches toning to a pleasant gray-brown patina and the triggerguard retains fine bright blue in the protected areas with the exterior flaking to mild gray-brown. All markings remain crisp showing the simple zigzag borders. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in excellent condition retaining about 95% original finish and showing just a few sparsely scattered light dings and handling marks. Stock fit is excellent and the checkering remains crisp throughout, the original hard rubber pistolgrip cap and widows peak buttplate also rate excellent. Length-of-pull is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 3/4''. Weight is 6 lbs., the gun is sighted with a single silver bead and the gun features double triggers, extractor and automatic safety. The barrels lock-up solid on-face with top lever still well right-of-center and the action seems to function well mechanically. A lovely 20 gauge VH that appears to have seen very little actual use.
