I do not doubt the mint description, but the lever is left of center which is a tad odd for a gun of this quality in this condition.

Barrel length, not on topic, but something seems to indicate a new made in USA fashion trend regarding barrel length, hence the 80 centimeter offerings which are making their appearance in Europe, but we are not biting yet. Maybe we hunt more woodcock and partridge than US hunters do, so 28, 26 and 25 inch barrels are still the choice.
