Antique Whitney Phoenix Shotgun

Serial #345, 12 Ga., 29 3/4" barrel with a good, moderately freckled bore.  This is a good looking Phoenix that has matching numbers on the frame and pivoting breechblock.  The metal has an overall dark plum-brown patina throughout, with small areas of thin freckling and surface oxidation scattered about the barrel and frame.  The walnut buttstock and forend are in about good condition with numerous minor handling marks throughout, as well as a 1 1/4" with-the-grain crack at the heel of the butt.  The action is fully functional and the shotgun rates good-near very good overall.  Antique
