Likely circa 1950s. Finished in machine blue. 30" Winchester Proof Steel barrels with hybrid dovetailed chopper lumps, matted rib, single bead sight, and automatic ejectors. Choke markings on underside of barrels read "FULL" (L) and "MOD" (R), although the bores have been opened up some and gauge modified and cylinder respectively. Boxlock action fitted with automatic safety and single selective trigger. Diamond pattern checkered walnut beavertail forend of nice figure. Pistol grip stock of similar figure with leather wrapped pad. CONDITION: Very good as partially restored. Barrels appear relayed with the vast majority of their expertly applied blue with some mild muzzle wear and scattered marks. Action has characteristic flaking on the underside and some high edge wear. Stocks have only a few light impressions and some minor finish loss where it was shortened to fit the pad. Bores show use. Tight lock up and otherwise fine mechanics. A classic American double.
