Tim:

Two questions about your 10 gauge:

Did you have the metal refinished? I’ve never seen a blue action on a Darne.

We’re you able to determine when it was made? I ask only because I have a lower grade 10 gauge from the pre-WWI rea and wondered whether they were from the same era. Mine has a case colored receiver and is a lower grade, but is otherwise very similar to yours, down to the weight of 7 pounds 3 ounces.
