That's a great point about the wood. Never thought of that. The action feels like the gun was made yesterday and the action (as well as firing on snap caps) feels more refined than my post-war Sauer and simson SxS guns.

This brings up a question, is it better to store the gun with firing springs/pins released (fe snap caps in the chambers and fired both barrels) vs storing it cocked? I assume yes but I would think that many of these are stored cocked for umpteen years so maybe it's not an issue at all?
