Dang - nice looking gun.

Wood on the butt looks original, but the checkering all around is recut. On the forend, I think WR stamped the serial number in the wood sometimes. A beavertail from that era would be odd.

Looks like the 16g bbls have been hot blued, maybe the 12s, too. Action may have been recolored.

I would have a good gunsmith take a long look at it.
