Michael, I'm sorry that I may have caused some confusion on the date of manufacture. I looked at the rib and thought it was a 3 pin rib which would date it as a later gun. I just went back to the listing and see it's only 298,000 so that places it at about 1922-23. The pictures of the gun showing the rib aren't the best. It has the Winchester duck foot on the receiver and if the top is matted and the rib squiggly matted with two pins holding it on, then everything is good. If the barrel rib has straight lines on it, then it is a later rib. A nice set of early custom wood would be OK as long as the whole shotgun was redone at some time. Bob
