Stock has nearly all of an old re-finish. Checkering is slightly worn. Edges are slightly rounded. Metal is somewhat proud of wood. Bores are fine, bright and shiny with some minor pitting and browning toward muzzles. Locks are crisp. A good quality Birmingham gun, retailed by Mr. Hubbard, of whom little information can be found. Gardner has no listing, and Sellers lists S H Hubbard in Ilion, NY, probably a misreading for J.H. 4-41191 MGM80 (2,000-3,000)
