serial #217204E, 12 ga (2 3/4''), 28'' barrels choked improved modified and full with a bright excellent right bore showing stubborn wad residue, and a very good plus left bore with a light ding 16 1/2'' from the muzzle and wad residue. The barrels retain about 90% quality reapplied rust blue with touches of silvering at the edges of the muzzles and breeches, areas of light to more moderate thinning, and light handling marks. The frame has toned to a gray case-hardened patina with wisps of mellowed color beneath the fences and lever, and light oxidation staining on the underside of the frame. The factory Specialty grade flowing scroll engraving remains crisp, the lockplates displaying a pair of nested quail on the left and a waterfowl scene on the right, with splashes of more foliate scroll engraving on the triggerguard, forend iron, and lever. The barrels are devoid of the typical grade and Hunters Arms Co markings, are gauge marked on the underside, and both barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good condition with a few short cracks at the rear of the forend and left lockplate, a small chip at the rear of the right lockplate, softened checkering and a lightly added finish. The stock sports an about 3/4'' added walnut spacer at the butt and is fit with an unmarked solid red recoil pad giving an about 15'' length of pull with drops of about 1 5/8'' and 2 3/4''. The shotgun locks up with notable lateral play and both barrels off-face, with more light visible between the breech and standing breech on the left than the right. The shotgun features a Hunter One trigger, nonautomatic safety, mechanical hammers, ejectors, and is sighted with a lone brass bead. The shotgun will require mechanical attention as though the ejectors trip, they do so weakly and with questionable effect. (14A11690-21) {C&R} (700/900)
