I had a feeling once. Couldn't get nothing for it so I dropped it in the Goodwill bin. Don't worry, those clueless kids will be back soon to keep your underlings too busy to stir up stuff...maybe.

The 50-70 year old long of barrel and tight of choke shotguns tend to go wanting in the sale department. Consider shortening up that old 30 inch gun and screw choking it. All in cost buying a decent gun and having the work done would be in the 5-600 dollar neighborhood. Sure you can buy a new 12 gauge pump cheaper, but not better.

I have that problem and I am not working (at least, not getting paid for it. )

21 bucks for the takedown gun
12 bucks for another barrel
I would assume take down was a requirement for Addl. barrels. Given a solid frame gun was only 16, 4 dollars more bought an entire gun.
Now we know why 2 and 3 barrel sets are not often seen.
  

I understand you're point, but in today's money, $16.00=$579.72,  and $21.00=$708.38, in today's dollars!

Just saying! It doesn't sound like much today, until we look at the comparison! IMO!

In which event I would cheerfully give you the original buttplate. The thing that discourages me from.doing that is 1. I don't shoot the gun and 2. The pad and the gunsmith would cost far more than I want to put into the gun! 

Your best bet for finding an original buttplate will probably be at gunshows where somebody is trying to sell the takeoffs from gunsmiths who installed pads. 

I do suggest you call Lee's Gun Parts, in Irving, Texas. I'm constantly amazed at what he has in his store. Boxes of things.

Thanks Bert.
 
Here are some pics. SN is included. The only real flaw that I've found is a small crack in the wrist, but the old worker knows what to do with that. 
  

Still no pictures ?
