Here are some photos of my 16 ga. Model 90 Skeetking. Only available in 1939 and 1940, they were special order guns with upgraded wood and hand engraving . The engraving on this gun is very similar (some of the patterns are identical) but more elaborate than on a "standard" Skeetking. Chokes were typically adjusted at the factory to give the best pattern at 20 yards (bottom barrel) and 30 yards (top barrel although mine was choked Mod/Full. This one has a non-selective single trigger but most were DT's.
