A rock solid classic indeed. Mine is a 1925 example, the last year of the original long frame, and came out of the mountains of West Virginia. It, too, is a 16 with the original short chambers and 28" barrels choked M & F. With mirror bores, 50% case color and right of center, it’s a nice example of a working man's double.
