Post by: toot on October 09, 2020, 07:57:56 AM: it is also a break open gun with rabbit ears/ hammers. just a very little pitting/ minimal in the rite barrel as we all know that is the barrel that gets shot first and most, then reloaded and shot again when a second shot is not needed. it has two and a half inch chambers. and about 75 percent finish. it closes up just like a CADILLAC DOOR!!. any one have any knoweledge of a ball park figure on them? and no I cannot post picture's of it because my BANG & OLUFSEN won't let me do it. sorry. toot.
