'E Grade' Vintage American made double barrel sidelock hammerless shotgun chambered for 12 gauge shells, circa 1890. Features 30" damascus barrels with a raised solid rib, IM chokes, auto ejectors, brass bead front sight, double triggers, checkered top lever, sliding tang safety, English walnut wood forend and pistol grip shoulder stock with factory buttplate. Checkering on forearm, and wrist, horn grip cap. Serial numbers match on the receiver, and lower tang. Could not get the forearm off. Patent dates on the triggerguard. Very effective scroll design with a hunting dog handsomely executed on each lock plate.

Action is crisp, bores are very good and stocks are fine. A very nice example of an early American hammerless shotgun. NRA condition-Very Good. Antique Firearm.
