Default Grandaddy's 20 Guage

This was given to my Grandfather by his Grandfather - that I know but the initials on the gun are still a mystery. I am hoping to find out more and solve that mystery through the forum and/or requesting a letter. I also appreciate history and these guns and look forward to learning more.

a letter will get you the most information -

Hi Stephen!

WOW - I only approved your registration to this forum a few minutes ago, and you've already uploaded pics to your new album..!! - Welcome!!!

Anyway - if you can post a serial number or grade or...?? It would be excellent, along side of the pics you've already posted (EDIT - you are still uploading pics, so my questions might become mute as the pics could give the serial # and peek at the grade ).. Many of us have TPS and the serialization book, which might be a start on your research? A PGCA Letter would be invaluable too...

Anyway - welcome again - and you've made an awesome first post on the PGCA Forum! I can only hope other new folks take a lead from your first post

My Best Always,

John
