Thanks, it came in from South Africa in a real bad state. It had been re-stocked and a new forend wood fitted. We had to work on the shapes of both, but the barrels are original and cleaned up OK, the engraving was sufficiently unusual and the price made it worth getting stuck into.

Condor, enjoy your gun, don't worry about it, shoot it a lot, dry it, clean the bores, wipe an oily cloth over the metal parts and have fun. It is an english gun, designed to be used in the field, cleaned, used again. It can take it!
