Has the sought after safety known as the "suicidesafety" last pic explains why.(you do pull it towards you to engage.......) . Has a patina look to it definitely no beauty queen but it's a functional 12ga that is ready to have the barrel chopped to 18in and a mag tub extension added turn it into your badass home sweeper or truck shotty! Does have a small piece missing from the butt plate and various other marks from use for a 110 year old shotgun.
