No mystery has been solved by admitting the barrel is not original to the gun. The WS1 choke designation is later than the manufacture of this early Trap Grade. Even the auctioneer mentions that one barrel is missing. No big deal there. I still think it is an original Kornbrath gun. By the way, who owns the enamelled Kornbrath Model 12 that sold at auction a few years ago? MP, I have seen the gun you picture before, probably in a Gun Digest of the fifties or sixties. Where is it from?

I guess going to south dakota and killing a few pheasants was not the answer you were looking for. To bad someone had to refinish the metal on this gun. Where can you find the selling prices on this auction? John

Where is it from? I thought you had that, it's from a Kornbrath brochure. I remember the enameled gun but don't know who has it.

I remember seeing the "brochure" gun in the early 70's at a sale of Parker shotguns in Marshalltown,Iowa.Someone that was with Mr. Sidwell from Omaha had it in the back of his new cadillac and was kind enough to share it with us.Sure wish I had the money then that I have now and of course the money I have now would not buy it today.He wanted 3500 for it.

I have to part company with most of you, a pump gun is essentially a shooting tool and all the engraving and fancy wood in the world cannot give it good lines. The Winchester 42 makes a stab at it but still falls short. IMO, of course.
