Hi Gene, here,s a oddball, the serial number is clearly wrong, I wonder if it was a number put there by the Midland Gun Co when they re-barrelled?

Serial No. 7478 with fine scroll engraved action and straight hand stock with snap on forend. Barrels and furniture re-blacked, stock refinished, bores heavily pitted. Barrels 30"
