1932 Superposed, owned and used extensively by Maj Charles Askins, Sr. Std. grade, build to the Major's specs, the extra nice wood, courtesy of his friends, the Brownings. Metal original, wood restored, pig skin pad added. The origninal pad was long gone, the replacement pad just about gone, wood finish was cracked and orange pealing. Everything but the pad is original, the pad is period correct, just not the Hawkins type pad seen in photos of the Major holding or shooting this gun. The guy who restored the wood, James Flynn, is known for his pig skin pads. I couldn't resist. DF ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/MJVZFxe.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/CrIjeAL.jpg)

A 1948 Marlin Model 336. Half magazine in 30-30. I’ve added a Williams receiver sight. I’ll try to post up some pics later. Passed from my father in law. It was his dad’s and hasn’t been shot more than a few full boxes. Kept behind a farmhouse kitchen door for years.

Wish I could show a pic but at 82 I'm computer challenged but, I bought a Browning Superposed Grade V skeet gun ( now Diana grade) in 20 gauge in 1954. Still got it and like new condition. Been shot once but you'd never know it.
V I'd sure love to see it!!!
