A. It is a Savage gun of less quality than the better quality Philadelphia Fox Sterlingworths.
B. This gun has been restored and someone case colored it with bone and charcoal rather than the original Cyanide case color factory process that both Savage and Fox originally used on these guns.
C. Blued triggers that were originally factory polished and not blued.
D. Refinished satin wood finish that was originally varnished. Recut checkering. Fluted comb which Sterlingworths did not have, so probably restocked at sometime.
E. 7 lbs for a 16 ga Sterlingworth with 28" barrels...?....My 16 ga Philadelphia Sterlingworth with 28" barrels weighs 6 lbs...........Maybe it's just a typo....?....
So, for me, it is far less than the best Sterlingworth I have ever seen, shot, held or owned. JMHO since you asked........
I do like restored guns, just ones that are refinished with some attention to detail and by people who have done their homework first.
