By the way, Kid, the FIRST gun pictured is a 12 gauge R10 that I own, built circa 1946. The SECOND and THIRD pictures are of a mid 1970s or so R10 20 gauge that Galazon has been trying to peddle (unsuccessfully) for quite some time.
The colors on gun number one are higher quality and better work than on gun number two, which, is typical of Darne (and other guns) built in two different eras. Gun number two is far from the first cyanide case colored gun I have seen that has flaked off colors.
Inspite of what you may have read elsewhere.
Best,
Ted
