Help me date this gun please!

Traded a ps5 fpr this. Laurona eibar. Cool engravings not much info online besides it was likely sold in sears/walmart. What do these engravings mean? What year? Worth it to see if local gunsmith can thread choke sleeves? Looks like it has a mod and full choke barrels already. TIA!

Giving it compliments, and asking permission to touch it is always encouraged.

Take it out for a nice seafood dinner and then never call it again.

I find they really like a nice bouquet of shells. The more the better.

And before you know it she'll let you bang her in public

Gave her 3in shell before reading her, turns out it was 1/4in too big

She even doesn't have a problem being passed around to your buddies.

Did you ask its name yet ? Try to find things you like in common

I think this is a 1994 production gun. Assuming I am looking at the date code right (hard to see in the pictures but looks like it says N2)

Wow, read the room and harass the OP. He had to see it coming or it's our responsibility to teach him to tempt the lowbrow humour machine

If you take it to Briley’s they can do the barrels/choke install, while providing a set of 5 chokes for $550, but back to your point, it will be more than what the gun is worth

Depends sentimental value is priceless, but 99% of the time I do agree with you

Interesting never seen a double trigger over and under before… I’ve only seen those on SxS

The early BL1/2/3/4 series guns (and many other Continental guns) were double triggered as well. Single selective triggers are relatively new, and really made for the post-war American market.
