The history of this particular shotgun is that it was originally owned by my great great grandfather, who was also a gunsmith (first in Colorado, and later in San Diego, from roughly 1880 to 1910). Out of the many guns he owned and worked on, he was particularly proud of this one. I heard a family story that he tuned or enhanced it in some way -- but whatever he did isn't obvious from the outside.
I shot the gun several times when I was a kid, in the late 60's and early 70's. My Dad put .410 sleeves in both barrels, so we could use modern .410 ammunition with it.
It's located in the central coast area of California at the moment, with my mom.
I don't have any pictures yet. I hoped to have them soon, but now it looks like I won't have them until March.
