Very nice A grade in excellent condition with a least two special order features (Skeet style Beaver Tail forend and straight hand grip). Does it have ejectors, what is the barrel length and what is the serial number?

Sweet gun. My 16 gauge AE is serial numbered with 100 numbers of yours and also has the Beaver Tail forend and Kautzky single trigger in skeet configuration with the more common semi pistol grip. It will has gone into semi retirement since I picked up a 16 gauge A grade with double triggers, splinter forend and extractors which I much prefer for hunting.

Great looking gun. Straight grip & a beavertail, two of my favorites.

Interesting that the barrels are marked Philly as that SN would put it about mid-30's production and that style of beavertail is Utica era.

I would imagine only it's price has kept it from selling.
I'm guessing about a 25% premium due to it's unfired condition.
What do you think?

Can you make out the left barrel stamping?

So I assume that this is not your gun. Am I correct?

I looked at this gun Tony had it at the NE Side by Side a few weeks ago. I did not take it down, however as I was not a buyer at the price. It looks very nice. I like the straight grip and Beavertail!

Does Tony still have this gun. I have some info on the originality /unfired conditions. Im pretty sure vintage firearms owned it before Tony. and a man i know before sold it at the southern some years back. I had a chance to buy at Greensboro gun show before it was sold at the southern . Be careul potential buyers.
