Vintage side by side double barrel side lock internal hammer shotgun manufactured circa 1898-1913. Features 26" barrels marked "ARMOR STEEL", choked IC/IC, small brass bead front sight, extractors, sliding tang safety, double triggers, smooth wood forend & semi-pistol gripped shoulder stock, plastic buttplate. Bores are good or better condition, need cleaning. Metal surfaces are a mix of dull gray or silver, with much patina brown, patina in many places. Wood is good at forend, poor at stock with upper tangs broken off and repaired. Some remaining cross hatching at wrist appears to be shallow checkering, now mostly eroded by sanding and slight reshaping. Buttplate is a expedient replacement from flat plastic material, shaped to fit. Barrels show several small dents, bottom rib lifted free and bent, showing between the barrels, some sort of fastener added. Forend hanger has odd fit. Upper tang shows a small gap mid-tang, has been cut into two pieces. Several screw heads have damaged slots. Condition is NRA Poor *** C&R Firearms ***
