A 26.5 inch barrel New Model Skeet Gun is probably the least desirable 28-gauge to the purest collectors. I can't see any salt issues in the pictures, but would want to examine close up before buying. I paid twice that for my 28-gauge Grade 1 New Model Skeet with 28-inch barrels.

A lot of salt era guns went back to Browning for warranty correction but unless documentation was kept with the gun who knows. I shoot a full set of 28-inch barrel New Model Skeet Guns, no salt issues on any.
