Walt, that is a real American shotgun. Frankly, I couldn't care less about all the fancy guns from "over there"; put me in a quail cover or a grouse covert sometime in the 1920's - 1940's, give me a good solid shooter (a nice Sterlingworth or Trogan, a field grade Elsie, or something like that old Nitro of yours), and let me relive those days. Back when men were men (and no: the sheep were not nervous ;-)), shooters were shooters, and a shotgun was...well, a shotgun. Great find; grats!
