Locally, it's pretty well known that I like Model 1897 shotguns. Because of this, I got a call last Friday from a clerk at one of the local stores that sells firearms that an old gentleman from up the coast had been in and mentioned that he had a 12 gauge Model 97 he wanted to sell. He gave me the name and phone number, and to make a long story short, a Model 1897, made in 1953, with about 80% exterior, and brand new appearing interior, with a 28" Modified barrel, followed me home today, after transfering $150.00 from my wallet to his. I also had to endure over two hours of very interesting story telling, but this shotgun is now mine, along with a pretty nice Remington Nylon 66 (paid him $100.00 for the .22). I would post a picture, but I'm computer illiterate in that regard.
All in all, it was a good day.
