Could the bronze be just the hint of faded case colours?,or faded lacquer?...hopefully not rust smile
Slap up some pics when you can.I bet its sweet.
I have a very nice 1926 12bore sle belgian with no name,hinged trigger, bushed pims, burl wood ,loads of scroll & a lovely Purdey 3rd bite cut into the breech face
I wish it had a famous name...but it's still a classy pigeon gun.
Hope you get a fair price..you'll see how good a friend he is, smile
good luck.
Did it seem to fit you stock wise?
