Thats different , Argo. This is a salt wood Browning Superposed 28 ga being upgraded with new 70s-80s barrels (even though the salt barrels with a different rib configuration are likely sound) and being turned into a Pointer grade with superlight configuration. This isnt a restoration. Its upgrading to a high grade piece. Sorry, but my humble opinion is this isnt a restoration, rather upgrading to something different and rare, but no way original.

Socialism is almost the worst.
