Thanks for the comments, I do actually own one of Walt's books and the Crass is a 12 Gauge, Grade 4, 28" barrels with very open chokes. This why I was hoping Walt can tell me what the original length of the barrels where when shipped. The Damascus barrels are in very good condition with no visible dents. All numbers match. The buttstock is a little banged up and wears what I think is a old Silvers pad which is in poor shape. Thanks, Stan
