The barrels have mostly toned to a pleasant plum-brown patina showing some scattered light handling marks, a few small spots of minor old oxidation staining and attractive swirling damascus patterns throughout. The action has toned to a more mild gray patina with soft brown undertones, a few sparsely scattered pinprick pits and light oxidation staining. The action is embellished with tasteful light geometric bordering, a few small foliate flourishes and small game bird on the bow of the guard. The trigger plate retains perhaps 85% original bright blue and is stamped with a buck's head and August 12, 1884 patent date, this patent attributed to the Belgian SJD Company. This mark is also associated with shotguns made by New Era Gun Works and Syracuse Gun Company but this example does not bear any additional markings attributed to a specific maker. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good condition showing moderate overall wear from the years, lightly crazing finish, dings and a couple small abrasions along the right side butt and comb. The black hard rubber forend tip and checkered buttplate are intact showing some light scuffs. Length-of-pull is 14 1/4" and the extractor retainer screw is missing though the extractor stays secured when the gun is assembled. The arm features non-automatic safety, barrel lock-up is solid on-face with top lever a little left of center and the action seems to function well mechanically.

FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale (excluding Class III) when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. If an FFL dealer is sending an “agent” to pick up items, that person must be a bona fide, paid employee of the company with a W4 on file. Outside contractors cannot be used as pickup agents. A SIGNED LETTER FROM THE FFL STATING THIS FACT MUST BE PRESENTED AT TIME OF PICK UP. The FFL Dealer will in turn be notified that a transfer was made to you as their agent. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm, on day of sale, provided the proper paperwork is completed and the transfer has been approved either through the N.H. State Police or the FBI NICS System, whichever is appropriate based upon the type of firearm(s) purchased. Non-resident individuals from states without waiting periods may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check. If you reside in a state with a waiting period, your items will need to be shipped to a dealer in your state. No modern handguns will be delivered to non-resident individuals. All modern handguns purchased by non-resident individuals will need to be delivered to or shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer’s home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale.

Some states have restrictions on transfers to C&R License holders, study your state and local laws before bidding.
