thank you for the wonderful detail. I picked this up at an estate sale that had no other firearms. I tend to think this was brought home by a returning GI after WW2 and has simply sat dormant. There is some external finish issues but the bores are bright and shiny and the action is very tight. I had pretty much surmised that this was a guild gun and any real detail would be difficult if not impossible to find.

I do not think too many people at this auction had much interest in firearms as this double was pretty much given away at the gavel price of $600! I feel fortunate to have bought it at any price and I am planning on loading for this with lighter loads and shooting some white tail deer
