I've been looking for some time at a pre-WWI Saint Etienne 12 gauge as yet another cheap way to sneak an extra gun into the house in case it's needed by friends. It's an interesting gun; looks clean; Stock has been added to on the comb and it's restocked, reblued. Normal proof for PT so its post 1900. Chambered in cm so its pre 1912. The gun was sold in 2009 for $525 and in 2010 for $351. Not sure what I could get it for.

But here's the question; I've never seen case coloring on a 105 year old French shotgun like this. The seller believes it's original. Is this plausible?
