I would think the first question might be about salt.

I've only seen a couple "salt looking" late Superlights and I'm not sure being under water may have more to do with the look than salt wood. I would be very comfortable buying a high condition Superlight with no obvious rust. Oh, I guess I've actually done that and not been disappointed.

Murph,
Would the 28" Superlights have been "special order" guns? In Schwings book, it appears that straight stocks were made much prior to the intro of the Superlight proper. Some looked like long (28-30") barreled guns.

A 28" Superlight was a catalog item. U.S. export Superposed guns with straight grip were special order and very scarce. Straight grip guns pictured in Schwing's book are early, prototype, special order, European shipment guns, you name it but not standard fare for U.S. customers until the advent of the Superlight models.

How about this variation? I've got a 99.9% 1973 Grade 1 which has factory Midas Grade Wood and Midas Checkering pattern. Anyone seen anything comparable? Any guess on value?
