Serial# suggests early 1920's (Philly). I make out "Fox" Sterlingworth on the action....Utica. Looks like a transition gun, but the number is a decade too early?

Also, the stock looks to be newer than the forend. The checkering is wrong with that border. The frame to upper tang radius is a sharp corner, indicating a late frame. I don't know if that was only Savage guns or if late Philly frames had that corner as well.

I said it's a little messed up...
If I were interested in it, I would get more pics/info from the auctioneer and then get it before some knowledgeable eyes before the sale.
Buyer beware.

Looks to me like a replaced buttstock, and I'd be curious if all the serial numbers matched as it has Philly barrels, a Utica frame and a whatever buttstock. Wouldn't be the first gun gobbled together after the fact with parts. If the serial numbers all matched it would be well worth restocking if the barrels were good. Also would make a dynamite custom dove gun.
