Greener FH35 grade double. 12 gauge, ejectors, side safety. 30" steel barrels.I couldn't be happier with the condition. Seller thought production was 1902 or 1903. Serial is in the 538XX range. Any way to verify?

Only issue I've found so far is one ejector doesn't work as strongly as the other using snap caps. The chambers are relatively tight and wouldn't fit the only empty hulls I had handy, so I don't know if they'll be fine with regular shells. It's so much fun getting a new double.

Some reloads and cases fired in other guns can be a bit tight. It should be fine with factory stuff. I have hammer 12 nad a hammer 16 that won't chamber reloads. I don't think the chamber dimentions were very standardised back then. Lagopus.....
