I certainly never thought I'd see a sister gun to my Browning BSS on something like the Dogs and Doubles site, but OK it's 20 G and mint and all. Mine is a working class 12 and may have been used a bit... And as usual for my guns that are that old, I find myself asking "I had a manual?"

"From the fantastic 20g Browning BSS and a real nice looking 28g Arrieta/Orvis SxS to and awesome 12 OU pigeon/trap gun made in Germany for a gunshop in Boston. See them all now....

I have a working class 20. It's a nice gun with an English stock and I like it quite a bit but double triggers would make me like it quite a bit more. Like most US doubles, it has a beavertail fore end and weighs more than most doubles from over the sea's do but it does make for a better target gun that way.
A new unfired one with the oirional box and manual would be pretty cool!

I used the working class term because one reason I bought my BSS in 12 G was so I would be able to buy the shells cheaply and everywhere, something that wasn't true of any other gauge. And, well, it worked until the government started strangling the sale of guns and ammo in Canada....
 
I used your term workoing class because my gun is a plain jane grade I gun without sideplates and has been fired, it also has an adjustable comb added which one probably wouldn't put on a safe queen. Also 20 guage ammo isn't any more money than 12, at least around here.
