Indeed - there is an AHE 20/28 gauge that was exhaustively documented as having had the 0-frame 28 ga. barrels added, probably by Remington, immediately after WW II.

Kevin do you know if that 20/28 might have started out as a 16ga Damascus barreled gun?

And then there is 150677 originally ordered as a two gauge (20/28) two-barrel set.

Yes Rich, that is the gun. Kevin and Babe D. went over the whole gun and wrote a report of their thoughts on the gun. It started it's life as a 16 ga Damascus 30" barrels with ejectors and it was sent back to Remington just after the war to be fitted with "modern" 20 and 28 ga barrels. Wish I could find a set of 16 ga Damascus barrels .............

The A1Special I thought was a 20 GA. sent back for 28 GA. barrels was actually a 28 GA (180xxx) sent back to Remington for 410 barrels.
