Well,
A couple of guys suspected a grafted stock, which, that is not. A graft would have two pieces of wood, glued together, and I’m not sure just what the hell that is, it almost looks like an application over the top of something that looks like it could be wood. I’m pretty sure the original piece of wood doesn’t go all the way to where the buttplate mounts. Weird.
I got nothing. I can’t tell for sure what that is.
I wouldn’t have paid $1200, but, I’ve been at this for 40 years, and knowledge isn’t free, you end up learning from your mistakes. Nobody asked me, and the time to do research on an old double gun is before you have exchanged money for an old gun.You won’t likely make that mistake again. There was a time when beater Darne R10s and Halifax models were $400-$600, those guns are still around, but they seem to be about triple that price these days. So, there you are. Blame it on Biden inflation.
Whatever. If you can safely shoot it, and actually hit something with it, enjoy it for what it is, and move on to your next gun afterward.
Best,
Ted
