Early Single Barrel Trap
Yesterday I bought what is advertised to be, a very early Single Barrel Trap gun # 176245. It is also a 30 in barrel, which I believe makes it even more rare.
Assumed to be an SC model, records show S grade. Bought it from the OCA auction listed by Icollector.com. I will post pictures as soon as I receive it. :) |
Congratulations Jack. We are awaiting your pictures. The ID and Serialization Book lists your gun as a C grade 12 gauge with 30" barrel and straight hand stock. Very nice.
|
Yea, I verifiedvthat before I bid, but I did not realize it was such an early one! Have not seen any earlier listed!
|
Congrats on a great find. I also have a 1st yr SBT about 200 serial numbers after yours
|
The Serialization Book lists three guns of lower serial numbers than yours. There could be more in missing records, but maybe not. What is OCA? Are you referring to OGCA?
|
OCA was my made up abreviation for Carol Watson's Orange Coast Auctions, sorry for the confusion.
|
Sounds like a great find for sure
|
Jack I believe (according to my math) you may have the earliest known SBT to exist. The Parker Pages lists 176798 as the current earliest known SBT. Send for a letter and ask if this can be verified. Could make the gun more valuable.

PICTURES!
I finally have the gun! (vacation got in the way) and here are the Pics, (did the best I could, ask if I missed something)!:)
