Below are some photos of a 1E 20ga that I picked up at a yard sale for $350. I had purchased a few old shot shell boxes from an elderly lady and she asked if I would be interested in an old shotgun. I told her I might depending on the gun and the price. She went inside and returned a few minutes later with the gun wrapped in an old towel. She asked me if I would give her $350 for it. I jumped at the offer. I sent it to Jerry Andrews, who recently restored for me. It has 26" barrels that are choked Modified and Improved Modified. The ejectors are as strong as the day she left Fulton in 1912. I think she'll make a great little gun for quail, woodcock and grouse.
