(1961) Two sets of 26 - 3/8" barrels with raised ventilated ribs and all correct markings are both marked for "full and full" chokes. Barrel sets are serial numbered to action and are marked "1" and "2". Barrel set "2" has had chokes opened to IC and IC, most likely by factory. Blued action with classic Grade "1" scroll engraving features gold plated single selective trigger. Relatively plain European walnut long tang round knob buttstock measures 14 - 1/4" over horn Browning buttplate. Each barrel set has its own dedicated nicely matching field forend. Gun is housed in tan Hartman case with space for both barrel sets, which contains keys. CONDITION: Excellent. Barrels and action retain nearly all of their original blue, with some light scratches on action, most noticeable on left side. Wood retains nearly all of its original finish with some very light marks. Bores are excellent. Mechanically excellent. Case is excellent, interior with very light marks and soiling. The .410 was offered beginning in 1959 and had limited production. Early examples like this are highly sought after. MGM69
