I had to look. Philly gun.
Bought for resale. I have developed the skills to handle the restoration of this Sterlingworth, but if I were to devalue it I would also be out my labor.
I essentially bought it by accident. Threw out a bid among a bunch of others and won, when I wasn't actually interested in doing so....
At this point I am leaning toward a minor restoration. Reblue the barrels, refinish the wood and clean up the checkering.
I haven't measured the choke yet. I did run my Skeets into it when it arrived just to make sure it had choke, but will measure when I am stripping it down.
dogon, I have an entire file of Oscar's posts saved on my computer AND printed, just in case of a hard drive failure!
