The seller is right it's MC-11 and I never saw one with this kind of finish.
MC-11 is allmost exact copy of self-opener Purdey-Beesley gun exept it's not stocked to fence.
I can bet this gun is much stronger, than original, but unfortunatly a bit heavier also, 'cause been made for trap and skeet.
I've heard L.Brejnev had something like this at the time and Khrustchev gave to Mr.Flemming as gift allmost the same gun, but a bit modest, than this one.
About 220 MC-11 made only, so make your day. I guess there are number of collectors here who could easily give more, than $30K for this thing now.
