    Thank you for your very good advice. I got the locks off to look at the wood underneath. It's solid. Fairly clean aside from the crack and chips
    I believe that this gun was loved by someone. Used, but loved. I wonder about the history behind it and why/how it came to the market. Beautiful patina in the wood from use but not drowned in oil. I can still see some of the color in the locks. Measured the chambers and bored and they are correct.
    It's a tough choice for me for which direction to go, but I've decided to keep it. I don't hunt or shoot trap/clays but hopefully I can have this ready for the deep river event.
