A couple things to clarify. The purchase card is dated October of 1960 and it is a "round knob" stock. I believe that is the correct terminology. Original finish on the wood and bluing. The Butt plate is original and reads "Browning Automatic." Hopefully this gives a little more insight. Good gun, fires and functions flawlessly. It is just taking up room. I am one for working guns not guns that sit around taking up room. This one was retired in the mid 80's when the lead shot ban went into effect because it has very tight fixed chokes and it only takes 2 3/4" shells. And, it's a wee bit heavy for an upland game gun. My dad moved on to an 11-87 Remington and then to a Benelli Super Black Eagle. I quit waterfowl hunting and got a German Shorthair and a 12 Ga. O/U.
