I posted a few Photos of this old gun months back, before our esteemed member LeFusil told me it had Detachable Locks Decent Full coverage engraving Articulated Front Trigger English Barrels or at least marked as that 1943 Belgian Proof or 1954 ???? See the little "tab" at the forward end of the Action Box ? Press it and the bottom plate drops The right Lock coming out The right Lock Two piece cocking levers - I don't know the purpose of this Last edited by postoak; 06/09/13 03:39 PM. Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Pre-Pachmyr - Mershon Whiteline Pad - this will go 6 Pound 11 Ounce - 16 Gauge It needs a Stock & Barrel Refinish, some screws cleaned up or replaced, and a little TLC. I like the old gun.
