Description:
Browning Midas 12 gauge O/U shotgun.  Made in 1963 well prior to the “salt era”, this Midas has 26 ½” barrels choked Skeet & Skeet, hand filed vent rib with front and center beads.  It is a unique combination of a target gun and a field gun.  The stock dimensions are more target style with a 14” LOP to the Browning butt plate, which is more field style, and a 1 ½” DAC & 2” DAH (target dimensions) on the highly figured stock with a slight cast favoring a right hand shooter.  The stock has a flat knob and a traditional long tang.  The forearm is skeet style but much slimmer than the later flat/beavertail forearm.  The beautiful Midas engraving was done by, and signed by master engraver:  Louis Vrancken.  There is a factory inset escutcheon on the bottom of the stock with the initials “WGH” engraved.  This Midas weighs 6 lbs. 15 oz.  As far as condition goes this original Midas is 98%+ overall with the sole deduction for a “ding” in the finish on the very front of the comb (see picture).  To top it off this Midas comes in a correct vintage Hartmann take-down case.
