Picked this one up a while back. Would appreciate very much any input on engraving or value of this old Model 50 12 ga. Somebody who "called himself gunsmith" polished the barrel for re-bluing and while doing so he polished out a gold inlay under the barrel about 4" in front of the fore end. I can only make out bits and pieces. Don't know if it was the engraver, or who it was engraved for. What a pisser !! Breaks my heart. The inlays are in silver. As I asked before, any info would be appreciated. The serial #77XXX. Thanks guys!!
If you don't like Robert E. Lee, you won't like it on this ranch. JGM
