Nice old gun,
I can just see it over dogs in the sedge smile
or Snipe in the marsh shocked

1909 is the year they moved to Canada, so maybe this was
one of the last made in USA?

That's a beauty.
Model number seems added after barrels were blackened
Krupp is rubbed out, yet Model is crisp.I

I'd like to own that one, to match my other.


Out there doing it best I can.

I may sell it. I have its fraternal twin. They make a nice pair, though.
In person, all lettering is similar and rib matting differs greatly from other Tobins.

Researcher should be along to help.
The lockplate connector screw looks like that used on the "Tournament"
Could it have been marketed by a Hardware Store with special engraving and labeled the Model 1909?

Cute little gun. Have seen that zig-zag border engraving on late Woodstock 12-gauge guns in the high 17xxx and 18xxx serial number range, but with a dog head on the sideplate. Have never seen a rib like that?!?
