Roalco, I really appreciate the information as the Churchill book, as thorough as it is in most respects, doesn't talk about the early models much at all. I did notice that short barrel guns don't seem to be too common in the pre-WWI Churchills.I will post some pics ,but I have sent the gun to Ken Eversull to have it put back on face.It is probably off .001-.002 and toplever is at the end of its travel. Strangely enough, the hinge is tight, and the gun has all of its original wood and metal finish,but it must have been slammed shut quite a bit to be like it is.I think Mr. Eversull should be able to put it right.The other kind of strange thing about this gun,at least to me, is that both barrels are cylinder.They are both without the 'Choke' marking on the bottom of the tubes ahead of the flats.
