Description:
Wilkes-Barre Gun Company, D-Grade, 12 gauge, 30" Bernard Damascus barrels are choked IC / Mod. with 2-9/16" Chambers.
Original Stock features a 14" LOP, Drop at Comb: 1-11/16", Drop at Heel: 2-1/2". All original top-grade gun (bead- to- buttplate) with "picked up"
checkering and CCL hand- rubbed (renewed oil finish). Gun weighs 7 lbs.-2.3 oz.
This is another gun of mine which I bought (2 years) before I launched the Double Gun Journal in 1989, and we divulged the truth about Damascus.
Wilkes-Barre guns have been pictured and referanced in many issues of The Double Gun Journal, so please refer to your Index & Readers to find
all these referances, photos. The few articles we have published include the two below. Finding anyone knowledgeable about these guns was next to impossible ! DGJ, Winter 2003 pp. 85-95, by Wm. Ochtermeier & Bob Noble
DGJ, Winter 2008 beginning on p.51 by Larry Schuknecht
In taking a few extra pix for an interested buyer, two things stood out as questionable:
1. No serial and grade stamping in forend (though I have seen one with only the grade marking).
2. The forend cap looks the same as used on early Lefevers.
I will be happy to answer your questions; contact me through Guns International Messaging service.
