There is an engraved standing pigeon located behind the hammer. Trigger guard is also factory engraved ''P. J. FORD.''. There is a story this shotgun was presented to or at least was owned by an early member of the Ford automobile family, but no records or documents exist to prove that prominence. All engraving, lettering & address are legible. A fixed ''V'' rear sight has been added to the bridge of the receiver, while the barrel carries a single gold bead. The bore is very good. Stock carries a hardened solid red recoil pad. Esthetically, a very nice example of a fairly rare shotgun. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 3000 to 4500
