I have an update to this gun's story. I submitted it's serial number to H&H for a records book history report. It turns out that this gun was manufactured as a ball gun without choke and without rifling and it remains now in original condition as manufactured. What insight PM thank you. I will continue with a sympathetic wood cleanup and repair and barrel polish and reblacken but the good news is the gun does remain in original configuration as manufactured. Thanks to all,especially PM.

Interesting. What is the serial number ? I assume the number does not fall into the Paradox bracket.

It does not fall in the Paradox number ranges of 11000 or 15000. It does however have Paradox style ribs and quarter rib which was the confusing part. It is in the 17000 range with date of manufacture of 1893.

OK, that makes sense. Serial 17,000 - 18,000 was from 1893-1905 for guns and rifles. Sounds like you have a fun rifle.

What is the weight of the barrels and the weight of the gun? A photo or two would be a treat.

The gun will still be a great shotgun and with the right load development a great rifle.
PM knows his stuff:) Here is one of mine
