It's "mutant configuration" made for US market in the 60s or 70s (the date of proof should be on paperwork). I have seen this before in from of two SLE Dakin Arms of San Francisco CA (if I recall address correctly). The guns were Union Armera 215s with straight grips, VR, "paddle-tail for-ends) one had DTs other was SNS trigger. I would not put any money into refinishing this gun but would have lock work and internals serviced if you can't do it yourself.


I would love to service it myself and am very mechanically inclined. Is there a book or website that explains the basics of maintaining these actions?

Took my son out to the sporting clays club today to shoot the first round with his new 20 gauge SxS. I shot my VS, scoring the round for the first time with the old girl. She shoots pretty good, I broke 71 of 100 with her. I sure do notice how short the barrels are though when she's in the rack next to the other guns. In the end 71 of 100 is pretty good and I doubt 2" more barrel would have had any affect on the score.
