Jaz
It is good to have a former owner of the gun post.

Do those pictures accuratly reflect the condition of the gun when you had it?

What I said in my post, as I said in the post, is only an opinion and I mean no disrespect to you or Mr Casewell.
However The CCH on the action is very bright, far more so than I would expect from a H+H of this age and I cannot reconcile it with the obvious wear to the barrels at the action face, or the trigger guard and bottom strap and forend catch.

The stock appears very light in colour and the grain very open, the pad is far more worn than the stock. The finish is very shiney especially over the chekering.There is a gap, pad to stock and it appears to me it was possibly removed to refinish.

As to its general authenticity if it matches H+H records that is the answer.

Returning to the first post, what do you think it will fetch Jaz?

Regards
