Description:
This is a 4-digit serial number that was built in early 1913. This is 20 ga as all early model 12's were. Equipped with orig correct 25" bbl in full choke. A well used gun that is mostly a silver grey color on almost all metal. Some blue in protected areas. Bore is in pretty good cond. A couple of light pitting spots and a little roughness. Could be some leading and may clean up. Left hand side of the receiver has an inscription "G L Cunningham" applied lightly and was probably put on when gun was new. Barely visible. Wood is in fairly good cond with characteristic usage wear. Some nicks on the pistol grip. Appears the stock is a later version but is a model 12 stock. Forearm is the early variety and in VG cond. This isn't the prettiest but it is one of the old originals and quite reasonable.
