Description:
1897 BLACK DIAMOND TRAP GUN, TAKEDOWN, 12 GA., FULL CHOKE, MADE 1908, unusual in that most of these have 30" or even 32" barrels, this one has a 28" barrel that has not been cut (still full choke) and was obviously special ordered this way, matching numbers,  appears to have some fancy walnut hidden under a hundred years of uncleaned grime on the stock and forend! Checkering is visible, but worn, correct straight stock with black diamond inlays in the wrist and marked "TRAP GUN" on the bolt, good aged blue on the receiver sides with balance mostly gray and brown, barrel shows good blue in the more protected areas with the balance also gray/brown, exc. markings with the last patent date on the barrel of 1900, tight action, bright mirror bore! solid wood, has an ancient solid rubber recoil pad marked "Jostam Mfg. Co" over "No Kick Coming Recoil Pad" I'm sure there were lots of great hunting and trap shooting adventures associated with this fine old '97!
