You are very welcome Tom. J.A.Johnston ordered some interesting guns. SN 25059, a 12 bore unless i am having a senior moment, was to be not over 6 1/2 lbs and 13 LOP, 28", and an XE to boot, according to the card. Unfortunately, if it ever becomes available, it is out of my league. Very cool.

I just asked Mark Johnston who is the owner of this gun to join the forum and provide some background on J.A. Johnston. Just to confirm for The Foxist, the Johnston's are from the Pittsburgh area.

I would really appreciate additional suggestions as to what you feel this gun's value is.

I was mistaken about the J.A. Johnston reference on the Becker guns. It was a similar name but not identical.
