I think it is an old "trade" gun but lookin for input from scattergun gurus.
Box lock, SxS double, 12ga, 3"shell chambers so good for at least 2 3/4", 30" appearantly damascus bbls. Full and Full.
Internal hammers.
Pistol grip stock, splinter forend. No comb. Black plastic checkered buttplate with squirrel. Pistol grip cap black plastic with rectangular scroll.
Strange (to me) take down. After forend is off, must depress square button in lower receiver to remove bbls.
Forend latch ....push rod at muzzle end of forend to unlock it.
Both sides of receiver marked Spencer Gun. Co.
Breech table marked with Ser # 45XX, pat nov 25 90, March 12 95. Same ser # on bbls and forend iron.
No other markings. No proof or house marks. Not anywhere on or in it.
Double triggers. For n aft sliding tang safety. Top latch lever on tang.
Extractor only, no ejectors.
Gold bead front sight.....no sign of any other bead anywhere on rib.
Fit and finish pretty good externally. Did not get a chance to look at the lockwork.
Realize it is a wallhanger only, but hope to find a little about where it might have come from and when. Tis delicately lined and very fast pointer. Has an old English delicacy to it in the lines and ballance.
Any input appreciated.
Thanx, Sam
