The serial numbers are from a period running at least 22 years.

From 1904 through 1926. Approximately 100,000 were produced in that date range alone.

Wishing I could know the chamber length of # 125594 and # 216599 because the tags say to use 2 3/4 inch long shells. I would expect at least the earlier (if not both) of the two (2) to measure in the chambers at 2 1/2 inch or 2 5/8 inch (instead of 2 6/8ths).

Note, in the event someone more experienced at this can deduce something by knowing this too:

125594 is D2 H 0 S 12 30

216599 is V H 0 S 12 34
