Not many individuals (adults that is) find a LOP of 13 1/4" acceptable. (LOP formerly 14 1/2", now listed as 13 1/4")


I agree the measurements are different, but I wonder if the stock was changed as it still has heal and toe plates surrounding a checkered section. Just a guess but I suspect it was measured incorrectly from the rear trigger.

This picture is from today's auction.


Looking at the photo and considering that the toplever is likely slightly less than 2 inches long(the portion you can see extended from the rear of the action), then the buttstock looks longer than the 13 1/4" LOP listing of the auctioneer. Damascus barreled English shotguns still are sought after, so someone received good value for funds expended.
