re, agreed, the early nitros may have a less than pleasing frame profile, as expressed by some here an elsewhere...sorta like the parker trojan, which some also dislike for its frame profile...some like their frame profiles similar, others like erm different...diff folks, diff strokes, ah always say...
anyhow, this aint one of those...
this, is in fact, an early ww2 era nitro special with the very pleasing and modern looking lefever a grade type frame profile...
an george, you say this gun is rough for the price...what is rough about it? wood an barrels are about 95% original, with lots of case colors left... not perfect, but if it were, one should be suspicious of a visit by the dreaded refinisher...
it saddens me to see so many fine pre war hunting guns ruined by refinish work...if it aint perfect, leave it alone... needer are you...and, old guns are becoming like old furniture...the more original the finish, the more they are valued for their originality...
i sometimes think the proper punishment for refinishing classic guns should be...well, painful, but not maiming...
